I guess you are right. I compared it to rgrep where the result is 
`Grep:exit [no match]' and the mode line says `Grep finished with no 
matches found'. Whereas with lgrep you get an `abnormal exit' from grep 
even if there are matches to some of the wild cards. This example was 
contrived. I noticed this at work in a tree where there were .CC and 
.cpp files present, but grep still exited abnormally.

There is no failure in Emacs. I'm closing this. Thanks.

Christoph
