Thanks.  I still can't reproduce this with Grep 2.5.1 or Grep current CVS head 
on my system (SuSE GNU/Linux v10.0).

Please could you report your exact version of Grep, where you got it from (e.g. 
compiled from source, OS-provided package, third-party package) and what system 
you are running it on.

FWIW here's my result:
