Package: grep
Version: 2.20-4
Severity: normal
With -P (PCRE), $ matches an invalid character, while it should match
only an end of line. Example:
$ printf 'ab\377cd\n' | grep -a -P '^.*$'
ab�cd
$ printf 'ab\377cd\n' | grep -a -P '^.*d'
$
I cannot reproduce this problem with upstream's grep 2.21.

Hi,
Thanks for reporting this. As you say, this has been fixed by upstream
