Update of bug #21401 (project grep):

                  Status:                    None => Invalid                
             Open/Closed:                    Open => Closed

Follow-up Comment #1:

grep operates by reading one line from the input stream, removing any
trailing newline, and matching the pattern against it.  The fact that grepping
x0a works is actually a bug in grep -P (in fact it doesn't work with grep/grep
-E/grep -F).
