--- Comment #7 from Vesa-Matti Kari redhat-bugzilla@laamanaama.helsinki.fi 2008-11-12 10:35:29 EDT --- egrep, fgrep, grep are still broken in Fedora 9 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.2 (Tikanga). It is easy to get segfaults and infinite loops:
[pacman@labyrinth bug]$ dd if=/dev/zero of=zero300 bs=1024k count=300 300+0 records in 300+0 records out 314572800 bytes (315 MB) copied, 4.99563 s, 63.0 MB/s [pacman@labyrinth bug]$ /bin/grep a zero300 Segmentation fault (core dumped) [pacman@labyrinth bug]$ dd if=/dev/zero of=zero280 bs=1024k count=280 280+0 records in 280+0 records out 293601280 bytes (294 MB) copied, 4.42342 s, 66.4 MB/s [pacman@labyrinth bug]$ /bin/grep a zero280 ^C <---- seems like grep will loop forever so I interrupted it
If you remove:
grep-mem-exhausted.patch
then the problem goes away.
