the following version of grep:
$ apt-cache policy grep
grep:
Installed: 2.23-1
Candidate: 2.23-1
Version table:

Title:
grep switches into binary mode while processing a text file
Status in grep package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
I noticed this staring to happen in Xenial about two days ago. When
running sbuild (or now the buildd, too), the build breaks when trying
to compile a generated file. I traced the problem down to grep
suddenly acting weird. When not having any language set (or a non-UTF8
mode) it will start printing some lines of a source file and then
suddenly end that by printing "Binary file ... matches".
With the attached file, the difference can be observed (running
Xenial):
LANG=C grep -v xxx grant_table.h
and
LANG=C.UTF-8 grep -v xxx grant_table.h
