Works fine here but I'm on W2K.  Does 'grep -r -e hello .' or
'grep -r hello .' work?

Subject: Grep says file exists and then doesn't "grep" it


If I type:
    $ grep -e hello -r .
I get:
    grep: .: File exists
and grep doesn't search the contents of any files

If I try compiling it myself from the setup source package (grep-2.5-1) 
this doesn't happen anymore. Grep behaves as expected. Has anybody else 
seen this behaviour?
