[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
Steps to reproduce:
1) create a file containing the following lines:
   foo bar baz
   bar foo baz
   baz foo bar
   bar baz foo
   foo baz bar
   baz bar foo
2) The command "grep '.*bar$' filename1"  should find the two lines ending in "bar" but it does not.
3) create a file containing the following lines:
   foo
   foo bar
   baz foo
   foo bar baz
   baz bar foo
4) The command "grep '^foo$' filename2" should find only the first line but it does not.
