I should have said to first check whether the window for `*grep*' is in fact dedicated. With your cursor in that window, do this: `M-: (window-dedicated-p (selected-window))'. If it says `t' then the window is dedicated; if is says `nil' then it is not. Perhaps someone else has another suggestion, if it is not dedicated. If it is, then you will need to look further to find out why. Normally, in Emacs 23, one of those two `special-display-*' options is used to automatically make a buffer be displayed in a dedicated window. But code can also call `set-window-dedicated-p' explicitly to make it so. You can also use `M-: (special-display-p (buffer-name))', to see whether the buffer is special-display (which implies that it is displayed in a dedicated window). If the displayed value is anything other than `nil' then it is. Again, perhaps someone else has another suggestion.
