This is in Red Hat bugzilla, and Tim Waugh made a test package with
a fix available yesterday. See below.

A quite invasive, experimental patch has been applied to this grep
package:

http://cyberelk.net/tim/data/tmp/grep-2.5.1-19.i386.rpm

(SRPM in the same place)

It gives quite significant speed improvements for multibyte (UTF-8)
handling, but needs lots of real world testing to make sure there are
no regressions.

It will appear in rawhide in due course.

Tim.
