Actually, using Cygwin 1.7 isn't a fix for this, it's just a workaround if you happen to leave your locale set to 1.7's default of UTF-8. Grep 2.5.4 still exhibits the root problem if your locale is set to C. The patch referred to doesn't seem to address that problem. I don't think upgrading the grep package for 1.5 would fix the problem.
