grep bug report!

[jianglin.wu]

Hi, All!

 

When I perform the command 'grep -i linux /etc/*', I got a segmentation
Fault, the exit code is 139. I tried this test many times, and found that it
is okay as long as excuting grep without any options. For instance, 'grep
linux /etc/*' would be ok. However, if I use the minus option, It always
gave me a Segmentation Fault whatever the option I used.

 

I am looking forward to hearing from you.

 

Thanks million!

 

Yours,

 

Michael Wu
