GREP: strange behaviour of grep-2.3

Applies to

SuSE Linux: Version 6.2

Symptom:

Cause:

The new behaviour of grep is not a bug, but a new feature of version 2.3. grep is now capable of scanning binary-files without leaving the terminal "messy" (and having to do a reset).

Solution:

The old behaviour of grep can be triggered with the option ´-a´, so ´grep -a´ will function as it used to in former versions.

There are many packages which use grep and in complicated cases it is advisable to downgrade grep to the older version 2.2.
