Ah, thanks a lot for that tip!  I went again and looked how the agent is
started, as it immediately respawned whenever I sent SIGTERM to it.

Turns out, I still had a systemd user service, which started the agent
using environment variables and the like.  As soon as I had removed that
service and performed a reboot (I’m not sure what exactly would have to
be restarted), everything worked!

At any rate, you really saved my day, thank you so much!

Those seem to be the default arguments for grep or something.  I use
oh-my-zsh, it may come from there.  Also, I know about git grep, yet
hardly use it.  Maybe I should ;)
