There seem to be another bug on w32 too. I just tried using CMD.EXE for the inferior process instead. That does not seem to work at all. I got this:

 d:/ecvs/:
find . \( -type f -exec grep -q -e "message" {} \; \) -exec ls -ld {} \;
 find: missing argument to `-exec'
That is because you are using sh escape syntax in cmd.exe. Removing the backslash characters works in general, because the characters they are escaping do not have special meaning in cmd.exe. For those characters that do have special meaning, I think doubling them escapes them in cmd.exe

Yes, I guess that is the trouble, but me? I did not write find-grep-dired ;-)

Since you understand this much better than me could you perhaps try fixing the command used by find-grep-dired?
