grep recursive scan failure

Hello, didn't see this issue in the archive, apologies if it's a dupe.

In my tree is a 256Mb file consisting entirely of 0xFF bytes. Any recursive
grep which includes this file prematurely terminates with  "grep: line too
long" on stderr, causing some files not to be scanned.

Thanks
