Hi, all.

I have noticed strange behaviour of the DJGPP "grep" program, when used from
inside DJGPP Emacs 20. Can anyone confirm the following:

- start emacs -q
- type M-! (shell-command)
- type "grep notfound c:/autoexec.bat|wc" and RETs

The file c:/autoexec.bat should exist, and the string "notfound" should not
occur in it.
Emacs replies to me with:
(Shell command succeeded with no output)
Instead of:
      0       0       0
The "wc" program (or "echo" or whatever is after the pipe) is not executed.
When I change "grep" to another program without output, I do get three zeros
out of "wc".

It might be my specific setup (for instance, a very minimal
Emacs-environment), so if nobody can confirm this: never mind.

Groente, Michel.
