Public bug reported:
I noticed this staring to happen in Xenial about two days ago. When
running sbuild (or now the buildd, too), the build breaks when trying to
compile a generated file. I traced the problem down to grep suddenly
acting weird. When not having any language set (or a non-UTF8 mode) it
will start printing some lines of a source file and then suddenly end
that by printing "Binary file ... matches".
With the attached file, the difference can be observed (running Xenial):
LANG=C grep -v xxx grant_table.h
and
LANG=C.UTF-8 grep -v xxx grant_table.h
