(Your email engine botched the formatting of your mail as rendered in
plain text; technical lists tend to frown on html mail as unnecessary
overhead and lousy rendering)

grep already supports this: use 'grep -A1 "$pattern"' to output a line
that matches and the line immediately following the match.  If you
further want ONLY the line after, you can do things like:

grep -n -A1 "$patt" | sed -n 's/^[1-9][0-9]*-//p'

which uses the decorate-act-undecorate paradigm (grep -n decorates
matches with 'line:' and followups with 'line-'; the sed then picks the
followups and removes the decorations).

As -A is already documented as a grep option, I'm closing this as not a
bug in the database.  However, feel free to followup with further
questions on the topic.
