The patch in [2] was added a bit over a month ago as a comment in a bug report about the GNU grep in the base system, so I don't think it's a good example of no one caring about bsdgrep bugs.

On occasion I search for bsdgrep bugs, and did not find the comment / patch in [2]. Thank you for pointing it out, I'll look at it when I can.

I FreeBSD developer requested that I added a report to that bug [1]. After adding the patch to the report, I also reported this to the list [2]. I have also tried to contact the maintainer of bsdgrep with no luck. At some point you just give up ;).

I'm sorry this issue fell through the cracks. Feel free to add me (emaste) to the CC on any bsdgrep PRs you raise or encounter.

Thanks! I might triage some of the other bsdgrep issues and will take up on your offer if I do so. Sorry for the bluntness in my first comment!

Great. Now I've got more work too. :)
