I guess grep is detecting whether it's talking to a terminal, and doesn't buffer if it is (or probably line buffers).
There is no need to guess here - it's standard stdio behaviour (from stdio(3)): When opened, the standard error stream is not fully buffered; the standard input and output streams are fully buffered if and only if the streams do not to refer to an interactive device. --P -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
