Bug in 1.8.2 and 1.9

Hi -

I'm getting strange results when I use the grep applet from a
statically compiled busybox 1.8.2 and 1.9 on X86 compiled with gcc 4.1.3
against glibc-2.6.1.

I guess it is a bug because in the same environment a statically
compiled busybox 1.1.3-4 (Debian Package) works as expected, apart from
informing me that it is "Using fallback suid method", even though it is
called by root.


The command:

grep x file

works as expected.

While:

grep x file > output.file

creates an empty file 'output.file' when using 1.8.2 and 1.9
(busybox-20080205). 1.1.3 works.

Filesystem is ext3, mounted read/write.

How can I help?
