I've checked on 8.0 and GNU grep doesn't output anything either for me.
If you use tail -f, you will enter more lines and end it with EOF, won't
you? And then BSD grep will process the input and print out matches. I
don't think it's bad behaviour in itself but if you can explain why you
think it's bad I'm willing to change it.
Thanks for your comment,
