HI all, Firstly, I neglected to show that I had piped the grep results into "wc -l". That's where the numbers came from. Secondly, I've reinstalled the later version and will watch for a recurrence. If it happens I'll post the full test, including the "FILE" contents.
Thanks for the responses.

I wasn't working so I repeated and tried the following trivial 'grep': % wc -l FILE 48786 % grep . FILE 2240 Very wrong. I reverted to version 2.21 and everything now works as expected: % grep .
