Subject: bug#25693: -A and mixed line terminators

Hi,

I don't know if this is a bug or not, but -A does not seem to properly
deal with mixed line terminators.

Here's a way to replicate the issue.

$ wget http://www.popot.org/popuw_forum_archive/4a.html
$ file 4a.html
$ wc -l 4a.html
$ grep -A 10000 tul 4a.html
$ tail 4a.html

I'm requesting 10000 lines of trailing context, which is more lines
than the entire file, but output is prematurely cut off.

Best regards,
Norbert
