Public bug reported:
testcase
$ printf 'a\0b\0b1' | grep --null-data --null b | hexdump -C
00000000 62 00 62 31 00 |b.b1.|
00000005
but
$ printf 'a\0b\0b1' | grep -o --null-data --null b | hexdump -C
00000000 62 0a 62 0a |b.b.|
00000004
This is fixed in Xenial, but IMO should be fixed in Trusty, too.
