Because NULs imply binary data, and grepping binary data has unspecified results per POSIX. What's more, the NEWS for 2.21 documents that grep is now taking the liberty of treating NUL as a line terminator when -a is not in effect, thanks to the behavior being otherwise unspecified by POSIX. Try using 'grep -a' to force grep to treat the file as non-binary, in spite of the NULs. -- Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
