grep 2.5g -i --color bug

[Michael Schaap]

Hi,

I found a problem with grep 2.5g.  "grep -i --color" is unbearably slow.

For example, in the grep-2.5g/src/ directory,

        $ grep -i color grep.c

and

        $ grep --color color grep.c

return immediately, but

        $ grep -i --color color grep.c

takes forever.

I tried this on both Cygwin and RedHat 7.1.

Best regards,

 - Michael
