Bug Description
Description: Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS
Release: 16.04
grep:
Installato: 2.25-1~16.04.1
Candidato: 2.25-1~16.04.1
On very long file generated using util find (in a large system automatic backup procedure).
1) switch -v exclude random rows not matching regular expression
2) grep declare "binary" the text file ("binary file xxx match")
3) Without -v switch rows are correctly selected
LANG=it_IT.UTF-8
apparently SOLVED with:
LANG=C egrep ....
or upgrading to 2.9 from GNU repository.
Cannot replicate bug with simple forged text file.
