grep raises signal ERR

- Subject: grep raises signal ERR
Is this a bug? The following three-line shell script prints out the
string
<aborting>
when executed.
#!/bin/bash
trap "echo '<aborting>' ; exit 1" ERR
grep -q -e 'foo' < /dev/null
This indicates that grep has raised the signal ERR. It is inconvenient
for me. I am attempting to clean up some scratch files whenever a
shell script aborts. I use the trap command to do this. However, the
above command
grep -q -e 'foo' < /dev/null
is NOT aborting my shell script. It simply returns status 1, which I
do NOT want to handle by calling exit.
