Steps to reproduce: 1) create a file containing the following lines: foo bar baz bar foo baz baz foo bar bar baz foo foo baz bar baz bar foo 2) The command "grep '.*bar$' filename1" should find the two lines ending in "bar" but it does not. 3) create a file containing the following lines: foo foo bar baz foo foo bar baz baz bar foo 4) The command "grep '^foo$' filename2" should find only the first line but it does not.
