Package: grep
Version: 2.5.1.ds2-4
Severity: important

As I was trying to track down why a lot of memory was in use on my
system, I noticed:

  PID USER      PR  NI  VIRT  RES  SHR S %CPU %MEM    TIME+  COMMAND
27123 jgoerzen  18   0  220m 219m  604 R  6.0 24.8   1:13.36 grep

That is just running grep -r with an unescaped IP over the current
directory.  That is:

grep -r 1.2.3.4 .

I see no reason why it should be using so much RAM.
