It was GNU grep 2.13 and ZFS' behavior predates GNU grep 2.13 by many years. This was considered to be a bug in grep by the grep developers: https://github.com/openzfs/zfs/issues/829 https://github.com/openzfs/zfs/issues/829 http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/grep.git/commit/?id=2f0255e9f4cc5cc8bd619d1f217902eb29b30bc2 http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/grep.git/commit/?id=2f0255e...
