If you watch memory consumption on windows while grep is running, it
remains flat for about 30 seconds and then starts growing in sizeable

And BTW, there was an earlier version of grep that worked but I have

Now the nice thing about this approach is that all the platform differences
can be isolated / migrated to one place and tuned as you need.

exec is asked to run "file" with no .exe extension and that file does not

pts that run on multiple platforms including Cygwin, Linux, Solaris,
HP-UX and AIX. You can cover up all sorts of differences that way. Its
about the only clean way of dealing with platform specific differences. And
sadly, you may even have to stick with /bin/sh if you really want to be
portable.
