find attached a patch to grep to only read real files, ignoring 
symlinks,
devices, etc.(-O --only-files). I felt I need this for grepping my 
/src/sys
which also contains some compile/* directories where modules produce 
recursive
loops...
I'm more comfortable with fixing the recursion loops properly.
how so? i don't want to search a duplicate /sys at all... well, i can 
keep the patch in my tree as well, just wanted to share some thought

cheers
