Don't know why. As I said, I don't use grep from Emacs.

What do you mean, exactly? If you're trying to grep an external file,
with an external tool, it's hardly an Emacs problem. You could work
around it by loading the files into buffers and using Emacs
functionality (with you reject), or using Emacs to convert the files
and search with the external tool (which you reject), but other than
that, how do you expect Emacs to help?
