Proof of concept
Create three files in empty dir. When trying to search contents of first
file, grep ignores it. When the first file is moved to the last grep finds
it's content but now misses the "second" on ls -l list.
Tested on RHES 3 and SLES 9.3, according to 'info grep' both show version
2.5.1 for gnu grep.
