Package: busybox
Version: 0.47
I'm using
grep -v "^$"
with one to four line files, and in one particular case it failed
repeatedly (on a one line file).
At one time, I tried the following commands (all failed):
cat $file | grep "^$"
cat $file | grep ^$
grep ^$ $file
grep "^$" $file
Replace $file with a specific choice.
It happens frequently and almost every time.
