I agree with Ævar and Eric, we should certainly zero-out
opt->color_lineno in grep.c's init_grep_defaults().
I recall doing this in v1, but I think that I must have dropped this
part of the patch on the floor. In either case, I have amended my local
copy to include this color_set() invocation and will include it in v3
(which I hope to send later this evening).
