Hi Corinna,

The code that's been disconnected since grep-2.21 (from 2014-11-23)
was cygwin-specific:

-#ifdef __CYGWIN__
-      /* Handle a UTF-8 sequence for a character beyond the base plane.
-         Cygwin's wchar_t is UTF-16, as in the underlying OS.  This
-         results in surrogate pairs which need some extra attention.  */
