Recent greps do not behave as documented with respect to after-context. In the
past I've been accustomed to -AX meaning print X lines of after context. That
is not how gnu grep is working now, but it is how it is documented. In fact
-AX, which I tested with a v3.4 that I build on Ubuntu 18, will print X+1 lines
of after-context. If you want 1, you must say -A0.
