Re: [Cooker] strange problem with "hotplug" package

Hi Stepan!

With your new version of grep, will `grep -q --help > /dev/full' fail?
I was surprised to see that with 2.5.1, it does give a diagnostic,
but doesn't actually fail:

  $ grep -q --help > /dev/full && echo ok
  grep: write error: No space left on device
  ok

While without -q, it works as I'd expect:

  $ grep --help > /dev/full && echo ok
  grep: write error: No space left on device
  [Exit 1]

Jim

P.S. Thanks for taking up the reins of GNU grep.
