It's possible that something you had in your .emacs for 20.4 to make
Emacs work smoothly with bash is no longer required, since Emacs
tries to handle bash properly itself.

There may also be some problems with igrep under Emacs-21.1, try "M-x
grep-find" to see if that works any better (I know the interface is
not as friendly as igrep; for basic use you just need to type
'address' on the end of the command line it prompts you with, and hit
return). If that works, try looking for an updated version of igrep.el.
