Subject: bug#27393: 25.2.50; *Find* file visiting does not work well for me.

Looking a little more into it, I guess that Emacs is not the one to
blame. MSYS `find' utility outputs a strange time stamp where the month
and hour are displayed but not the day of month.

It is quite strange because on the one hand I get this:

--8<----8<----8<----8<----8<-- begin -->8---->8---->8---->8---->8----
 $ ls -dils trunk/fmtcount-manual.tex
-| 889094 37 -rw-r--r-- 1 Vincent Administrateurs 36915 Jun 15 16:35 trunk/fmtcount-manual.tex
--8<----8<----8<----8<----8<--  end  -->8---->8---->8---->8---->8----

So `ls -dils' does the right job, but for some reason `find' outputs
something else:

--8<----8<----8<----8<----8<-- begin -->8---->8---->8---->8---->8----
$ find . "(" -iname "fmtcount-manual.tex" ")" -ls
7281264   19 -rw-r--r--   1 Vincent  Administrateurs    36910 Jun  05:58 ./dist/fmtcount-manual.tex
889094   19 -rw-r--r--   1 Vincent  Administrateurs    36915 Jun  16:35 ./trunk/fmtcount-manual.tex
--8<----8<----8<----8<----8<--  end  -->8---->8---->8---->8---->8----

Maybe I could fix my configuration by configuring the command launched
by Emacs so that the `-ls' option is replaced by `-exec ls -dils {} +'

- Is that customizable at all ?
- Where to report bug to MSYS find ?

I checked the findutil version:

--8<----8<----8<----8<----8<-- begin -->8---->8---->8---->8---->8----
 $ find --version
-| GNU find version 4.3.0
-| Features enabled: LEAF_OPTIMISATION FTS 
--8<----8<----8<----8<----8<--  end  -->8---->8---->8---->8---->8----

This was not the latest one on sourceforge MSYS file tree, so I
installed the latest one (aka 4.4.2), but this does not solve the issue:

--8<----8<----8<----8<----8<-- begin -->8---->8---->8---->8---->8----
 $ find --version
