grep hangs

[cygwin dot 20 dot job at spamgourmet dot com]

Hi Folks,

I have the problem that grep hangs after I try to search a string in all
files of a directory.
grep fun *

I can see that the grep process is idle as far as I understand the first
letter in the ps right.
      PID    PPID    PGID     WINPID  TTY  UID    STIME COMMAND
I    3144    3652    3144       3052  con 13724 09:52:02 /usr/bin/grep

What is going wrong here? When I use
grep fun a* [^a]*
grep hang after processing all files which start with 'a' and hangs
than.
What can I do to fix the problem?

Grep 2.5 is installed on my computer

Thanks Franz
