ok,

but what about the grep -z command which should have returned something
else than the garbage it gives ?

maybe it should give a result (with the numbering of all lines) just
like it does for the non-compress version


could it be another bug in the grep executable ?
(for empty or "match all" regexpr when applying onto compressed files)
