           Product: Base System
           Version: 11.2-STABLE
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Many People

Discovered an issue where if you are grepping for a string that falls outside
of the window size, the line is not found.  For example, I was running
11.2-stable in a VM and ssh'ing into it from a MAC and only had a window up
that was 80 char wide.  The `ps -aux` returned a string for a java program I
was running that was well over 80 chars and the string i was searching for fell
after the 80 char boundary.  that line was not returned in the grep search.
