Status: None => Fixed
Open/Closed: Open => Closed

Follow-up Comment #1:
Thanks for reporting the problem. This is a bug on s390 and any other
platform where ptrdiff_t and size_t have different representations for
nonnegative values. I installed the attached patch into the 'grep' trunk.
There could still be a problem on the s390 if a buffer gets larger than 2 GiB,
since that will exceed what ptrdiff_t can represent. Fixing this will be
trickier, though, as we'd have to make sure we never allocate an array with
more than PTRDIFF_MAX bytes. That is a different bug, though, so I'll close
the current bug report.
