We want the features from 2.5.1, but it was a rather buggy release. With no signs of a newer release on the way (no commits to GNU grep CVS repo for almost a year), we have little choice but to commit the various fixes that are circulating. If an updated version of grep ever comes out, it's likely that we'll be able to discard all of my local changes. Tim
