Further tests showed, that grep only behaved this way with text
files that were encoded according to ISO-8859 (There may be more!).
What operating system are you running on, and how did you build or import grep?
Also, what's your locale? What is the output of the shell command 'locale'?
I can see this happening if you are using an UTF-8 locale, as in general
ISO-8859 is not valid UTF-8 text. Older versions of 'grep' were less picky in
this area, and that might explain the symptoms you observed. With newer
versions it's more important for the locale to be compatible with the text
file's encoding.
