Details:
using grep 2.5.1
Have two symptoms that occur when grep encounters a pattern that spans the
x8000 byte boundary in a text file. Either grep will not report a valid
match, and proceeds to output the next match(es), or a segfault is produced.
The command was similar to the following:
grep -P "phrase1.*\n.*\n.*\n.*phrase2"
When the first eol characters are before the x8000 boundary, and the last eol
in the pattern is after x7FFF, one of the two errors occur.
