I just happened to notice this today. For some reason 'grep' seems to
think that 'set' output is binary, not text.
Most likely this is because the output of your `set' command contains
binary data. In the past, this has been reported by people whose `set'
command would output something like this:
IFS='
^@'
where the `^@' in my message denotes a single NUL byte (control-@) in
the original. If this is what's happening to you, then this is quite
possibly a bug in your shell, since environment variables cannot
possibly contain NUL bytes in Unix.
