I actually wonder if we should have a build-time knob to put "grep -a"
into sane_grep(). We do not ever plan to feed it binary data, so that
will do what, provided the system grep handles "-a". And on those that
do not know about "-a", one imagines that they do not suffer from this
problem in the first place (which is really limited to recent versions
of GNU grep).
