[Bug 1134307] [NEW] grep -r will not search subdirectories

[Robert T McQuaid]

Public bug reported:

grep -r Esther *.htm

Typing the above command when positioned in a directory containing
.htm files with the requested text produces a few lines of output.
When changing to the next outer directory with cd ..  the same
command produces no output.  It will not look at subdirectories.

Ubuntu release 12.10
version grep 12.12-2
