I cannot reproduce this with the GnuWin32 port of Grep 2.5.1 (from
grep-2.5.1a-bin.zip on the GnuWin32 site).  What version do you have
on your machine?

If you have the same version as I do, maybe you have some problem with
pcre.dll, the regexp library on which Grep depends (like if some other
package you installed overwrote the version of pcre.dll that came with
Grep 2.5.1)?

What is the "mingw" version? where did you get the binaries?  Do you
mean the MSYS version, perhaps?
