On linux systems, I typically to global searches with a command such as:

    	find . -name "*.[ch]*" -exec grep -H -n stuff {} \;

and this works nicely.  However, when I try the same command under Cygwin 
(from a 4NT prompt, not Bash), I get "find: missing argument to '-exec' ".
I tried a variety of modifications to the command but nothing makes this 
work.  What am I missing??
