Thanks. How about the attached simpler patch instead? Since grep always uses glibc-compatible regex (and supplies its own substitute when the system lacks one), and since all known glibc-compatible implementations fail, it should be safe to assume that grep will fail on the new test. We can worry about dealing with test successes later, when the bug gets fixed (and presumably grep's substitute regex implementation will get fixed too).
