cygwin: bash and PATH

[Adolf Markl]

Here is a thing I wonder about ... it's annoying!

# echo $PATH
.:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/c/WinNT/system32:/c/WinNT: ...

# which -a find
/bin/find
/c/WinNT/system32/find
/g/x/bin/find

# type -a find
find is /c/WinNT/system32/find

# find
FIND: Parameterformat nicht korrekt

That means, bash takes "/c/WinNT/system32/find" instead of "/bin/find"

Why???

============== some CONFIG ====================
- cygwin on WinNT4
- GNU bash, version 2.05a.0(3)-release (i686-pc-cygwin)

# echo $PATH
