well i'd like to help the author of bsdgrep to improve it. testing it and
then going back to gnu grep, because bsdgrep still has bugs isn't going to help
much. by using it i'd like to trip over these kind of bugs and report them.

but you're right...the author hasn't really paid a lot of attention to bsdgrep,
lately. :( i guess that's a problem when you have an open os, where everybody
can do as much or as little as it pleases him. ;)
