Thank!

jaspersmbp:www jasper$ grep -r -- ':q!' phpmyadmin
phpmyadmin/config.inc.php:??5:q!
jaspersmbp:www jasper$ cd phpmyadmin
jaspersmbp:phpmyadmin jasper$ sudo vim config.inc.php


Found the culprit as you expected. Did not exit properly using vim. All good
now. Thanks a lot Ryan! So I guess "--" makes grep look for ! instead of
using its special meaning?
