From: Mark Lillibridge <mark.lillibridge <at> hp.com>
To: 6114 <at> debbugs.gnu.org
Subject: this bug is still present in Emacs version 23.3.1!
Date: Sun, 04 Dec 2011 19:05:24 -0800

Looking at the code I see:

grep.el:778:
(defun grep-read-files (regexp)
  "Read files arg for interactive grep."
  (let* ((bn (or (buffer-file-name)
		 (replace-regexp-in-string "<[0-9]+>\\'" "" (buffer-name))))
	 (fn (and bn
		  (stringp bn)
		  (file-name-nondirectory bn)))
	 (default-alias
	   (and fn
		(let ((aliases grep-files-aliases)
		      alias)
		  (while aliases
		    (setq alias (car aliases)
			  aliases (cdr aliases))
		    (if (string-match (wildcard-to-regexp (cdr alias)) fn)
			(setq aliases nil)
		      (setq alias nil)))
		  (cdr alias))))

    You'll note that the patch mentioned previously in this thread has
not been applied or has been lost at some point!

Please fix.

- Thanks,
  Mark
