Well it works for me too and as the OP of the problem, I extend my thanks to
both of you and all the others who helped in debugging and coming up with
such a quick fix.

My only remaining question is can we assume that this bug (or bad coding) is
grep-specific or is it likely to rear its head in other core *nix utilities
that use UTF-8?
