I think it should print just one line; `a'.
bug reports should usually go to the bug tracking page rather than
reported to the mailing list ...
Oh, sorry. My grep(1) still says
Email bug reports to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Be sure to include the
word "grep" somewhere in the "Subject:" field.
I guess that's changed since.
The email address changed, not the procedure. It is fine to submit bug
reports to the mailing list. If the bug is confirmed and needs to be
recorded one of us (original reporter or someone on the list) can post
it on Savannah.
this issue though has already been fixed in grep-2.5.3 as noted by
someone else recently on the mailing list
Great! Is there a bug number for http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/ to go
with that? I'll link the Ubuntu bug to it to save those guys some
research effort. It may be http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?11579 but
that's an early 2005 bug and I'm not sure how to see when the suggested
patch made it into a released version.
Looks like it, but I can't say for sure. You can check the ChangeLog
file for when things where committed. The next release after that date
would've contained the fix. We don't use branches in grep development,
so the CVS is kept stable as much as possible.
Cheers,
TAA
