* BUT: grep 2.5 introduced a bug [1], which caused that grep behaved
as if the default was ``skip'' on sustems where reading a directory
is a faux pas.
I wouldn't call this a bug, I would call it that grep works as
expected on such systems. It is even document in the grep manual.
>From (grep.info)Invoking:
`-d ACTION'
`--directories=ACTION'
If an input file is a directory, use ACTION to process it. By
default, ACTION is `read', which means that directories are read
just as if they were ordinary files (some operating systems and
filesystems disallow this, and will cause `grep' to print error
messages for every directory or silently skip them). If ACTION is
`skip', directories are silently skipped. If ACTION is `recurse',
`grep' reads all files under each directory, recursively; this is
equivalent to the `-r' option.
