Add these lines in /usr/bin/egrep just before the exec line in that script.

printenv >> /tmp/egrep.printenv.$$
env >> /tmp/egrep.env.$$
set >> /tmp/egrep.set.$$
ps aux >> /tmp/egrep.ps.$$
echo "My PID=$$, Parent PID=$PPID" >> /tmp/egrep.pid.$$

And then once you get the egrep warning, check the above /tmp/egrep.* files for hints.

This can be a good starting point to detect whats happening and from where.
