Upstream NEWS:
* Noteworthy changes in release 2.8 (2011-05-13) [stable]
** Bug fixes
echo c|grep '[c]' would fail for any c in 0x80..0xff, and in many locales. E.g., printf '\xff\n'|grep "$(printf '[\xff]')" || echo FAIL would print FAIL rather than the required matching line. [bug introduced in grep-2.6]
grep's interpretation of range expression is now more consistent with that of other tools. [bug present since multi-byte character set support was introduced in 2.5.2, though the steps needed to reproduce it changed in grep-2.6]
grep erroneously returned with exit status 1 on some memory allocation failure. [bug present since "the beginning"]
Signoff both. -- Gaetan
