I'm using grep 2.4.2 with linux.

If I have a directory structure as follows:
>ls
b/ text1
>ls b
text2
>cat text1 b/text2
HELLO TEXT1
HELLO TEXT2

>grep -r LL *
text1:HELLO TEXT1

>From the docs it would appear that -r is not working correctly.  Shouldn't
the above sample output both files?  If not, what's the -r for?

I seem to recall an earlier grep working where it would print out both files.
