bug#4210: 23.1.50; lgrep chooses silly default value for file extension

[Eric Hanchrow <eric.hanchrow@gmail.com>]

Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.

Your bug report will be posted to the emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org mailing list.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

I visited a python file

C-x C-f ~ / l o c TAB RET b i n RET . p y RET

(I happen to have a bunch of python files in ~/local/bin, and I have
ido-mode turned on)
 
I cloned the buffer:

C-x 4 c 

I used lgrep to search:

ESC x l g r e p RET ^ c l a s s RET RET RET


At this point I was looking at a *grep* buffer like this:

    -*- mode: grep; default-directory: "~/local/bin/" -*-
    Grep started at Wed Aug 19 19:17:41

    grep -i -nH -e \^class *.py<2>
    /bin/bash: -c: line 0: syntax error near unexpected token `2'
    /bin/bash: -c: line 0: `grep -i -nH -e \^class *.py<2>'

    Grep exited abnormally with code 2 at Wed Aug 19 19:17:41

Naturally the "grep" command should have been 

    grep -i -nH -e \^class *.py

i.e., the "<2>" shouldn't have been put in there.

If Emacs crashed, and you have the Emacs process in the gdb debugger,
please include the output from the following gdb commands:
    `bt full' and `xbacktrace'.
If you would like to further debug the crash, please read the file
/usr/local/src/emacs/etc/DEBUG for instructions.
