--- Comment #4 from Ed Maste <emaste@freebsd.org> ---
(As expected) testcase works correctly on FreeBSD 13+ with BSD grep. It sho=
uld
be available on FreeBSD 12 as /usr/bin/bsdgrep and you could use that in a
script, or install it as /usr/bin/grep if that's feasible for you. I will s=
ee
about making sure all of the build infrastructure to support WITH_BSD_GREP =
is
available in 12.x.

It's a bit of an unfortunate situation to fix GNU grep in the tree for 12.x
though; GNU grep in the base system is not expected to receive an update, a=
nd
GNU grep is GPLv3+. Assuming the change you identified would apply to the o=
lder
grep version we have (without needing significant extra work) we could see =
if
it is possible to obtain that change licensed as GPLv2+.
