bug#6535: 24.0.50; grep seems not to work

["Jan Djärv" <jan.h.d@swipnet.se>]

What kind of shell are you running?  Are you doing any stty or other terminal 
related things in your dot-files for that shell?  Are there perhaps some 
global files that the shell reads on startup, for example /etc/bashrc?

How does it look if you put

   TERM=vt100 grep -nH -e cp cpuprc *.c

as the grep command?
