If grep --color is interrupted, either via ^C or ^Z or some other signal, it can leave the output terminal in a weird state. This problem was noted by Giuseppe Scrivano in <http://bugs.gnu.org/20062#143> and I'm forwarding the report here. One fix would be to do what GNU 'ls' does; note that SIGTSTP must be treated specially so that the color state resumes after restart; also, the signal handler just sets a flag that is polled periodically by the main code.
