>Description:
GNU grep(1) -color has an annoying bug. Sometimes it doesn't colorize the relevant
string.
Old-school tty hackers: I value my vision ;-)
>How-To-Repeat:
$ env -i /usr/bin/grep --colour=always :0: /etc/passwd
root:*:0:0:Charlie &:/root:/usr/local/bin/bash
toor:*:0:0:Bourne-again Superuser:/root:
The entire ":0:0:" should be colorized.
>Fix:
GNU grep fixed it some time ago.
