If cygwin is installed on your c drive, then you will want to avoid
certain directories during your traversal.

Linux / Unix / Cygwin has a directory that is responsible for your
devices, and they are all 'files'.  This would be the reason.

In the case of Cygwin, you will want to avoid your c:\cygwin\dev
directory which should map to /dev
