- Update to grep 3.3
** Changes in behavior
* The --files-without-match (-L) option now causes grep to succeed
when a file is listed, instead of when a line is selected.
** Improvements
* An over-30x performance improvement when many 'or'd expressions
share a common prefix, thanks to improvements in gnulib's dfa.c
* An additional 3-23% speed-up when searching large files, via
increased initial buffer size.
* grep now diagnoses stack overflow
