Yes, as I mentioned in the original message. Both which and "grep --help" show
that grep is Cygwin's (I didn't even know there was one in Borland's directory;
I've never used it).
Jacek's message hit the nail on the head. I downloaded the most recent
snapshot, and it works. So it was a Cygwin bug (although Pierre's message
seems to indicate it didn't manifest itself in 1.5.9, that's where I saw it
originally; I only dl'd 1.5.10 to eliminate 1.5.9 as the problem).
Jacek, thanks very much. I would reply to your message directly, but I'm not
subscribed to the list and I don't know how to do that (I only was able to
reply to Larry because he cc'd me).
