Unfortunately, I was unable to reproduce the final failure in t7810-grep.sh.
I tried, among other things, to provoke a failure thus:

     $ for i in $(seq 100); do
     > if ! ./t7810-grep.sh -i -v; then
     >     break;
     > fi
     > done
     $

but, apart from chewing on the cpu for about 50 minutes, it didn't result
in a failure. :(

However, after looking at test 59, it seems to me to be a stale (redundant)
test. So, patch #2 removes that test! :-D [I wish I could reproduce the
failure because I don't like not knowing why it failed, but ...]

Removing the test makes sense, since it was needed for --ext-grep only, is relatively expensive and a bit fragile (by depending on MAXARGS).

I'm slightly worried about the non-reproducible failure, though. Perhaps a timing issue is involved and chances are higher if you leave out the option -v?

Thanks,
René
