Removing the test makes sense, since it was needed for --ext-grep only, 
is relatively expensive and a bit fragile (by depending on MAXARGS).

I'm slightly worried about the non-reproducible failure, though. 
Perhaps a timing issue is involved and chances are higher if you leave 
out the option -v?

Thanks,
René
