Linux version protected too from infinite loop

Don't worry grep can stop itself

There is some doubt if grep can stop itself from going into an infinite loop if 
the symlinks make a cycle on windows. If it turned out to be safe then pull 
request could be accepted.

Thanks, `-R` option solves this problem. So you can add additional option for 
search in symlink or use `-R` option by default.

Find in files runs the `grep` program.  If you select the `recursive` option 
the `-r` option is passed to grep.  The `-r` option does not follow symlinks 
(on Linux or Windows).  On Linux the `-R` option follows symlinks, and I 
presume it does on windows too.  So set the `recursive` option off (to remove 
the `-r` ) and add `-R` to the `extra options` and see if it works.  If it 
doesn't work check that your copy of grep works in the command line with that 
option.
