No, that's not it.  It happens both with the installed grep and with 
a recent CVS version, and for the latter both --with-included-regex 
and --without-included-regex.  But on an Ubuntu install it does not 
happen.  So there's definitely something wrong with my system.  If 
it is the regex code, I guess it should fail for you too when 
using --with-included-regex.
