Package: grep Version: 2.5.3~dfsg-1 Severity: important There is a regression in this grep: a "cat /proc/stat | grep -w cpu" only shows the word "cpu" and not the whole line containing that word (i.e. it behaves as if I had run "cat /proc/stat | grep -wo cpu"). That makes "-w" pretty useless. gre

Bug#440342: "grep -w" implies "-o"

I am unable to confirm this bug. GNU grep 2.5.3 from ftp.gnu.org and from Savannah CVS works fine with -w in that it does not imply -o. I tested this on Mac OS X and Debian under different locales. If you can reproduce this bug with the CVS or the release version, let me know. Cheers, TAA -
