I suggest to use C-x C-g to kill the buffer's associated process (any,
not just grep) like this:

(defun kill-async-process ()
  "Kill the asynchronous process associated with this buffer"
  (interactive)
       (delete-process nil))

(global-set-key "\C-x\C-g" 'kill-async-process)

This can not harm, because you must use it in the relevant buffer.

Ehud.
