I realize this will be the third place you've reported it, but do you
mind submitting a bug to Debian about it? It'd be best to get this fixed
in Debian first and then Ubuntu.

  Thank you for reporting that.
  However, there has never been an occurrence of the string PRCE in the upstream sources, so this is probably due to a distribution-specific patch in use on your system.  Also note that there have been significant fixes and improvements since grep-2.16.  The latest is grep-2.21.
