bug#35960: grep execution hagns and does not display any output

[Paul Jackson]

Perhaps the file "get_excel_report.py" is not a regular file, or
perhaps that file is on a non-responsive network file system?

See if the following command also hangs:
$ wc -l get_excel_report.py

See what the "ls -l" and/or  "stat" commands do on the same file.
Do they hang?  Do they report a fifo or socket file type?  Do they
also hang, perhaps on a non-responsive network file system?
