On some of my hosts trying doing a recursive search gets a syntax error. On most
it works. As all these systems are built from the same source tree, I am not
sure where to look for the problem.

artemis:~> grep -ilr taiwan *                    \
grep: unrecognized option `--showDropTarget'      |____ does not work
Usage: grep [OPTION]... PATTERN [FILE]...         |
Try `grep --help' for more information.          /

while

artemis:~> grep -ilr taiwan `pwd`
   :
/usr/home/doug/.kde/share/cache/http/c/www.cybertelecom.org_statistics.htm_79304fa1
/usr/home/doug/.kde/share/cache/http/c/www.cybertelecom.org_broadband.htm_36e87ce3
^C

works

Thanks for any ideas
