The man page for -C says this:
-------------------
-C [NUM], -NUM, --context[=NUM]
Print NUM lines (default 2) of output context.
-------------------
So doing the following I would expect to match use number 1 witch the following:
#grep -C 12345 thue /etc passwd
However I get:
grep: thue: No such file or directory
It seems probably that it thought "12345" was the search string and "thue"
therefore one of the file arguments.

It would seem that this bug is fixed, therefor I'm closing it.
grep -C 3 now works as expected. 3 is interpretted as a required
option to the -C argument, and not as a filename:
$ grep -C 1 -F $'pryzbyj\nlist' /etc/passwd
