Subject: [PATCH] grep: do not mishandle \. in multiple patterns
Proble

we got a bug report a Gentoo [1] that grep-2.28 is broken when
searching for multiple patterns with -e:
grep-2.27:
% echo ".tar" | grep -e "\.tar"; echo $?
.tar
0
% echo ".tar" | grep -e "\.tar" -e "\.tbz"; echo $?
.tar
0
grep-2.28:
% echo ".tar" | grep -e "\.ta
