Thanks, this should be fixed in CVS now.

You're obviously expecting that we know xemacs.  I don't since I never
used it.  Fortunately the above "env" problem was easily reproducible.
But I can't reproduce this grep problem since I'm unable to start the
above grep.  The grep submenu is entirely greyed out when I look into
it.  And furthermore I have no idea what a red square means in xemacs.
Isn't it possible to have easier testcases than (x)emacs of all things?

Works fine for me with current CVS.  No extra console window at all.
