Re: Grep 2.5.3 on Cygwin

[Tony Abou-Assaleh]

Hi Xavier,

Thanks for the bug report. We are aware of the problem. These are known
bugs in the -o -i combinations. 'make check' should pass in the next
release. We plan to exclude the failing tests from the release code and
describe them in the documentation instead.

Cheers,

TAA
