[mdlug] grep bug?

[Tony Bemus]

I'm running Ubuntu 7.10 and i got the same results Robert did:
true && ( echo hello | grep --color=always -e ^ | hexdump -C | head -1;
echo hello | grep -i --color=always -e ^ | hexdump -C | head -1; )
00000000  68 65 6c 6c 6f 0a                                 |hello.|
00000000  1b 5b 30 31 3b 33 31 6d  1b 5b 30 30 6d 1b 5b 30
