thank you for catching this.

I think the problem is more general:
The options  -s, -q, -l and -L are mmututally exclusive.
We should document this and grep should halt with an error message
if any of these are combined.

Please note that the bug report address for grep has changed to bug-grep,
so please remove bug-gnu-utils from the cc list in further mails.

Have a nice day,
