Hello,

From the XP Pro command prompt, grepping for = (thru
ini files) produces the expected lists.  

In the directory with the following files
 [C:\Development\test]
.dir
 8/23/2002  17:07               0  control.ini
 9/13/2002  10:52             213  cr8demo.INI

10/02/2002   9:57             871  INTELDAT.INI

 9/11/2002  17:31             126  mdm.ini
10/02/2002   9:28               0  Migm30.INI

10/01/2002  10:12              32  Trace.INI
 9/23/2002  11:39           1,015  win.ini
 9/24/2002  10:15              50  Winamp.ini
 9/24/2002  11:57              41  winampa.ini

.grep = *
CTELSVR.INI:PageTimeout=50
CTELSVR.INI:MaxBufferSize=256
CTELSVR.INI:LockRetry=10
CTELSVR.INI:CommitLockRetry=10
CTELSVR.INI:ReadAheadPages=0
CTELSVR.INI:Deleted=On
CTELSVR.INI:QueryTimeout=120
CTELSVR.INI:LoginTimeout=20
CTELSVR.INI:ConnectionTimeout=0
CTELSVR.INI:UpdateRetries=7
CTELSVR.INI:OptimisticLocking=1
Ctelwin.ini:NetPath=\\IMS-MSSQL\CTLWIN\
Ctelwin.ini:LocalPath=C:\Program
Files\Epicor\Clientele Local Files\
Ctelwin.ini:ProgramFolder=Epicor\Clientele 7.2
Ctelwin.ini:UserName=
Ctelwin.ini:Password=
cr8demo.INI:Maximize=No
cr8demo.INI:XPos=100
cr8demo.INI:YPos=49
cr8demo.INI:Maximize=No
cr8demo.INI:XPos=85
cr8demo.INI:YPos=56
cr8demo.INI:Maximize=No
cr8demo.INI:XPos=44
cr8demo.INI:YPos=54
cr8demo.INI:Height=194
cr8demo.INI:Width=397
cr8demo.INI:ReportPathName=
cr8demo.INI:Sectors=0
... and so on


But... grepping and redircting the output to a file
causes a process loop that has to be killed

17:17 0  [C:\Development\test]
.grep = * > delme

17:18 66048  [C:\Development\test]
.^C

What happens is that the grep starts reading the delme
file and then reporting all those finds...


Ok, but the odd part this is, this behavior doesn't
appear when using the bash shell (on the same XP box).

Thoughts or explanations?
