making the grep-2.17 release soon |

I want to make a release soon, preferably next week, with a first
snapshot tomorrow.
There is the pcre-related problem that can result in an infloop or
segfault, but that is in libpcre. I may write a configure-time test
to detect that and, when found, turn off pcre support or just make
configure fail. Maybe.
Does anyone have issues they'd like to see addressed for grep-2.17?

Paul made a convincing case, so I'm treating the issue as closed-for-now.
It's trivial to reopen if/when we get some good rebuttal.

Sounds good. If you'd like to see that in 2.17, please post it ASAP.
