I think I have fixed this.  Does it work properly now?

Sorry, I wanted to test this, but I ran into too much trouble. I downloaded
the latest grep.el, but it wouldn't load in Emacs 22.1 because of the
changed file-remote-p signature. I downloaded the latest files.el to get
file-remote-p, but files.el wouldn't load either because of
declare-function. I have no idea where declare-function is defined, and I
don't want to continue chasing this.

You probably fixed it fine. Sorry I couldn't be more help testing it.
Perhaps someone else can confirm the fix.

(If GNU posted Windows binaries of CVS Emacs, I might keep more up-to-date.)

It's really not a big deal to have a working build environment on
Windows.  Lennart's site has all the instructions, and there are a few
people here to help if you run into trouble.

You should set up a machine to run GNU/Linux.
Not only will it be easier for you to build on,
but you will start getting used to free software
so that someday you can escape to the Free World.

Same with GnuWin32 grep (GNU grep) 2.5.1

Still broken. Never heard anything back on this. I don't see
anything in NEWS saying that this change is by design. It is
an annoyance, IMO.

The first time you use `grep', there is no problem, but if you
repeat `grep' from the *grep* buffer, point ends up at the end
of the output.

FYI, I'm using Cygwin grep (but I don't imagine it makes a difference).

In GNU Emacs 22.1.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600)
 of 2007-06-02 on RELEASE
Windowing system distributor `Microsoft Corp.', version 5.1.2600
configured using `configure --with-gcc (3.4) --cflags -Ic:/gnuwin32/include'

Would you like to debug WHY it fails?

Sorry, I really don't have the time now.
