Would you have a file whose name starts with "-" in the currentdirectory and a GNU grep by any chance?
In any case, when passing /unknown/ arguments (practically, if you can'tmake sure none of them may start with a - or +), you need to mark theend of options:
grep foo -- *(.)

================

	 'patriots' with proud swelling hearts
	 defended it against the next gang of 'robbers'
	 who came to steal it and did -- and became
	 swelling-hearted patriots in their turn."
