grep 2.5.1 hasn't been available from the GNU FTP site since it got
compromised a while ago.

Since development seems to have stalled, I'm planning on importing 2.5.1 +
Isamu Hasegawa's multibyte fixes + the performance improvement patch from
Tim Waugh at Redhat. The patch and the original source tarball are in
this SRPM:
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/2/SRPMS/grep-2.5.1-26.src.rpm

Debian has picked up the multibyte fixes, but not the performance patch:
http://packages.debian.org/unstable/base/grep
