Good info. Epic patch. Problem sovled, and no fails. Google search returns a bug in grep-2.5.1 with Lion + fix: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=655339#c25 Mine: grep (GNU grep) 2.5.1 The collection of patches for 2.68b I used is in the repo. https://github.com/2bits/actest/blob/master/ac268b.diff It should be the original 7 in the attachement, plus Paul's Flaky grep patch plus Eric's ksh patch plus Paul's egrep regex too big patch. And this would be the p1 version of that: https://raw.github.com/2bits/actest/master/ac268b.diff Ok thanks ya'll.
