Incidentally, I downloaded the source from the
http://dev.yorhel.nl/ncdu/ and it compiled flawlessly under Cygwin.

I ran it and had it start at the root folder, "/".

I anticipated it taking a very long time to finish, but not hours.  I
let it run for around four hours during which my processor stayed > 90%
usage, even with On-access virus scanning disabled.

During which time is dug through all of my mapped network drives, my
entire local hard drive, and the Windows registry via /proc/registry.

It bombed out sometime during the scan of /proc/registry, but I can't be
sure exactly where.  The display was still there, but it had dropped to
a command-line underneath.  The path was cut off due to the size of the
display box.

So, caveat emptor.

PS - I apologize in advance for the legal disclaimer at the bottom of my
email message.  This is tacked on by our SMTP gateway and I have no
control over it.  I have a gmail account that I use for my other cygwin
subscriptions, but for some reason, never remembered to switch this one
over.
