I'm testing on Debian stretch, with GCC 5.2 -- on a default build, all 
tests pass (including check-expensive), but adding 
'CFLAGS=-fsanitize=address' results in a lot of test failures.  After 
some investigation I found this was due to it detecting memory leaks 
(though it was a bit tricky to determine that because the detection 
happened after clean_up_stdout() closed stderr, so the actual report 
took a bit of fishing to extract).

With the attached patch applied all the grep tests pass, though the 
gnulib-tests suite still hits 12 failures (gnulib-tests/test-suite.log 
also attached) -- I could perhaps look into those myself, but I figure 
someone more familiar with the codebase can probably fix them much more 
quickly than I could.
