Hi Peter The author of grep posted a version that they considered fixed the issue. I reviewed the diff and what they did seemed pretty reasonable and correct. The new version was packaged in less than 24 hours.
Reporting bugs is highly appreciated, but putting deadlines to developers is not realistic. The great news is that due to the open-source nature of the project you can fix the code yourself (patches are welcome and Robert is incredibly good at picking them in good time) or you can find a local developer to do the code for you and then send the patches. You mentioned that open source work is not not paid and that is false, the time I work for Debian is time that I do not spend with my family, so basically my kids are paying for my volunteer work.
