    Then you're obviously having problems with your pipes and/or shell
    quoting. This works fine with 2.05b. If I were you, I'd use "set -x -v"
    to see what's going on, as well as finding out if you have any weird
    shopt options set.

    You might also want to look at your aliases, and find out if you've done
    something weird there. You can also run bash with the --norc and
    --noprofile flags, to ensure that you're starting with a clean slate.
    You might even want to try using a different account that hasn't been
    futzed with, to see if you still have problems.

    Since it works for everyone *but* you, the problem is neither regular
    expressions nor bash, per se. It's something to do with your
    configuration. So approach it as a debugging exercise, and investigate
    accordingly.
