Package: grep Version: 2.5.3~dfsg-3 Severity: normal Hi, Sometimes, -w option does not work.
I did not succeed in finding what exactly triggers that bug, but it looks like it happens when multiple files are grepped, and at least one of those files is big. I've uploaded a file that triggers the bug, and here is a way to reproduce it (begin in an empty directory): $ unset GREP_OPTIONS $ wget http://www.fdn.fr/~arenevier/debian/grep_bug/libnecko.a $ echo 300 > test $ /bin/grep -w 30 * Fichier binaire libnecko.a concorde test:300 grep should not find something in "test" file. if I set LANG to C, problem seems to be fixed. I've tested stable version of grep (2.5.1.ds2-6), and bug is present in that version. arno. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.22-2-486 Locale: LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages grep depends on: ii libc6 2.6.1-5 GNU C Library: Shared libraries grep recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
