It's a known problem with Windows run-time library: trying to read too
large chunk from the console device fails with ENOMEM.  Grep is trying
to read 32KB chunks, which is too large.

I suggest to complain to whoever produced the binary you are running:
they sources should be hacked to reduce the chunk size to 16KB or some
such.
