HI all,
Firstly, I neglected to show that I had piped the grep results into "wc -l". That's where the numbers came from.
Secondly, I've reinstalled the later version and will watch for a recurrence. If it happens I'll post the full test, including the "FILE" contents.
Thanks for the responses.
Enjoy,
-g-

Subject: BUG: grep (GNU grep) 2.24
Hi,
I had generated a FILE by simply doing a 'find' on a directory and used grep to cull the results. I wasn't working so I repeated and tried the following trivial 'grep':
% wc -l FILE
48786
% grep . FILE
2240
Very wrong.
I reverted to version 2.21 and everything now works as expected:
% grep . FILE
48786
