[PATCH] Clear GREP_OPTIONS environment variable.

- Subject: [PATCH] Clear GREP_OPTIONS environment variable.
The test gdb.base/maint.exp shells out from gdb to use grep. I have GREP_OPTIONS="--color=auto" in my environment and this causes the test to fail. The patch below clears this environment variable before running gdb. Ok to apply?
Cheers,
Andrew
