That is indeed an odd bug, and I can't reproduce it on my RHEL 5.6 (x86-64) host. Here's a transcript of what I did to try to reproduce it:
$ export LC_ALL=C $ mkdir d $ echo TRDXST >d/f $ grep -ra2 TRDXST * | grep -v svn d/f:TRDXST If you can come up with a self-contained recipe to reproduce the problem reliably, please let us know.
