The problem is observed under linux as per redhat 7 distribution, it
was abit silly not to mention that. I grabbed the source and rebuilt
grep. The new version seems to work fine. So to recap:
$ /bin/echo -e "]name\n name" | grep '[^]]name'
]name
 name
While a freshly built grep does:
$ /bin/echo -e "]name\n name" | src/grep '[^]]name'
 name
As it should. I'm baffled. Tomorrowow I'll check RedHat's built
options. BTW I built with just './configure; make'
