[Gllug] Bug in grep? Surely not ...

[Richard Jones]

I think the problem is line buffering mode.  It seems like grep turns
on line buffering when it detects the output is a tty, but turns it
off otherwise.  That combined with the fact that for some reason this
regexp is slow to run accounts for it.  It did work, but took ages (10
mins) on my 1 GHz machine.  That's is very slow.

Rich.
