As I understand from <https://www.kernel.org/category/releases.html>, Linux releases before 3.1 are no longer supported as of "mid-2015", which is right around now. Also, OpenSUSE 11.4 (based on kernel 2.6.37 -- does this have the kernel bug in question?) is seeing its support end this month, and all other supported openSUSE systems have kernels newer than 3.1.

Given all this, I'm inclined to mark this bug as "wontfix" for Grep. This case (though borderline) seems to fall more on the museum-piece side, and we don't want to take on the burden of supporting museum pieces.
