Update of bug #17457 (project grep):

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

Follow-up Comment #4:

Hmm, this cannot be fixed.  By definition the output file can grow
indefinitely, and grep will have to read it until EOF.
