Description Elias Pipping 2008-10-07 18:27:44 UTC

(This works with --color, too, I'll stick to -o here)

`echo foo | grep -o '^[fo]'` should yield a single 'f'.

Instead, I get 'f', 'o', and 'o' (each on a separate line).

I believe this is a different problem than bug #193043.

this has been fixed already with grep-2.5.3
