1.7.5: Extra \r when redirecting output

1.7.5: Extra \r when redirecting output

I'm seeing the following behavior in 1.7.5 and also 1.5.25, but not in
1.3.12 (yes, we still use that version).
 
On a text mode mount, we have the file foo which has \r\n line endings.
If I do
    grep -i line foo|od -cd
then the output shows proper \r\n line endings.
 
However, if I do
    grep -i line foo >foo.out
    od -cd foo.out
then the line endings are \r\r\n.
 
See attached files.
This works fine on binary mounts.  
 
Thanks,
Dave

Rumor has it that grep 2.6.3 fixes this behavior.  Could the grep
maintainer build a new version, please?

Thanks In Advance,

Dave
