Oh, sorry. My grep(1) still says
Email bug reports to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Be sure to include the
word "grep" somewhere in the "Subject:" field.
I guess that's changed since.

Great! Is there a bug number for http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/ to go
with that? I'll link the Ubuntu bug to it to save those guys some
research effort. It may be http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?11579 but
that's an early 2005 bug and I'm not sure how to see when the suggested
patch made it into a released version.
Cheers,
Ralph.
