I've just installed RedHat 6.0 on my Intel and Sparc boxes, but have 
noticed a problem with grep/fgrep/egrep on the Intel version.  Instead
of returning the matching strings, it just returns the message "binary file
<blah> matches" when a match is found.  The Sparc version works as
expected.

Has anyone else noticed this?
