I found that 2.5 is too early bird, it even not pass its own tests suite. I attempt to fix the test fails, but broke other test. Since the matter is too complex (how grep/egrep/fgrep should do to satisfy both tradition usage and POSIX), we'll better wait until 2.5.1 or something like when it will become self-consistent. Meanwhile I'll probably import 2.4.2 while I already in there (no -D yet). -- Andrey Chernov | http://ache.pp.ru/
