OK - thanks for the reply. I think it will be reported to FC13 and
Debian foo (for some value of foo), so they can figure out what they
want to do. RHEL6 also has egrep 2.6.x, but I assume it will get
whatever fix Fedora comes up with. And I took the liberty of forwarding
your reply to the org-mode mailing list, so that the people who were
affected could decide how to proceed.

Thanks again,
Nick
