Hi Paul,

Do I understand it correctly that, as a consequence of this change,
'grep' with a regex of '^.*$' will no longer match lines which contains
an invalid UTF-8 byte sequence?
If so:
- Is this effect on 'grep' intended? (And the workaround is to use the
"C" locale.)
- Is it consistent with the behaviour of regex and kwset, which 'grep'
also uses, depending on the arguments (as far as I understand)?
