_egrep_o() function accepts extended regex and on systems that do not have egrep uses sed to emulate egrep. This is failing on the specific regex I was using before my last commit... The problem is that I fixed it by passing in non-extended regex which then fails on systems that do have egrep. So I am no longer using _egrep_o.
See bugs #2385 and #2414
Note... even if those bugs are fixed, I would like to merge this PR and stop using _egrep_o()
Thanks
