Using grep and next-error

I am using emacs version 18.55.

When I use grep on a large file (> 1000 lines), the next-error function
does seem to work.  It puts the correct file into a buffer and then
tries to move me to the line that matched my grep.  For the first couple
tries at next-error, it leaves me at the beginning of the file, then 
moves me down ~10 lines for the next few newt-errors, and then back up 
to the beginning of the file, and repeats the above trend.

Anyone else encounter this?  I am not a lisp programmer, but could it
be a variable overflow?
