egrep: empty (sub)expression

I've looked at this and I have a patch with a workaround: http://kovesdan.org/patches/grep.dougb.diff

Unfortunately this breaks things. For example:

$ grep -E '(test||test)' /dev/null
grep: parentheses not balanced
$ grep -E '(test|\|)' /dev/null
grep: parentheses not balanced
$ grep -E '\(|test)' /dev/null
(should give an error but it hangs)
Ugly enough, but seems to be fixed in my working copy. Thanks for the report.

Gabor
