grep 2.5.1-r1 Possible Bug (fwd)

[Robert G Graf]

Hello,

It appears that this behavior is due to a lack of implementation in 
grep.  The only_matching section in prline() function fails to account for 
the case when match_icase is enabled.  The included grep.c file solves 
this problem in a similar fashion to the --color implementation.

Please include this patch in future releases if you find it worthy; it 
sure helps me! :D

Thank you and Enjoy!
Bob

Subject: grep 2.5.1-r1 Possible Bug

Hello,

I have a simple question:
Is the following behavior intended to be this way, or is this a bug?

address@hidden $ egrep -i -o "dsl checklist" << EOF
> DSL Checklist
> EOF
address@hidden $ egrep -i "dsl checklist" << EOF
> DSL Checklist
> EOF
DSL Checklist
address@hidden $

The -o and -i options combined produce no matches while the -i alone does.  
I would like to be able to use both of them.

Any help is greatly appreciated,

Thanks!
Bob
