CentOS - Sep 2006 - Bug in find command?

I'm going to bugz this if no one tells me I made another brain-damaged
error here. Also, if I can get one confirmation, it'll let me breath
easier. I ran a version searching for ".cmd" and ".c" just
trying to
convince myself I'm not *that* brain-damaged.

You'd think after all these years that regex compilation would be pretty
darn stable... Oh! Forgot it was GNU!

Added fasttrack repo to see... yep there's an update! Taking bets on the
outcome...

$ sh /tmp/MakeBugReportData

We lose again!

find . -name '*.cmd'
or find . -iname  '*.cmd'

does not appear to find  file beginning with dot.

whereas

find . | grep cmd$

does. I thnk that's your difference.

I cannot reproduce this problem using findutils-4.1.20-7.el4.1.i386.
All .cmd files are found correctly.
