Follow-up Comment #2, patch #3802 (project grep): The full story with this patch is that the grep built-in DFA actually pessimises rather than optimises when processing UTF-8. The idea of this patch is: if we are using UTF-8, disable grep's built-in DFA altogether. (The DFA in glibc handles UTF-8 correctly, and fast.)
Excellent, thanks. That's the sort of thing we needed to know. - Julian
