Is there a problem with the Gnuwin32 port of "find"?

Question

Is there a problem with the Gnuwin32 port of "find"? It sort of works on my Windows XP command line, but I get blank stares when I try using file name pattern matching function. It's from "findutils-4.2.20" package. Had to rename to "gfind.exe" so Windows wouldn't confuse with CMD.EXE's "find".
Some samples from my Windows console:
C:\PROGRA~1\GnuWin32\doc\findutils\4.2.20\findutils-4.2.20>gfind .
.
./find.chm
./find.dvi.gz
./find.GID
./find.hlp
./find.html
./find.pdf
./find.ps.gz
That works.
Again, the following works:
C:\PROGRA~1\GnuWin32\doc\findutils\4.2.20\findutils-4.2.20>gfind . -ls

1688849860610685 200 -rw-rw-rw- 1 cjohns89 0 201163 Mar 2005 ./fin d.ps.gz
But this doesn't do squat.
C:\PROGRA~1\GnuWin32\doc\findutils\4.2.20\findutils-4.2.20>gfind . -iname '*.pdf ' -ls

It just returns to the prompt. Am I (a novice) just mistaken in my use of syntax or is there a bug?

It's better without the apostrophe, since the Windows XP command line is an MS-DOS one.

For example:

 gfind . -iname *.pdf  -ls
