When fgrepping a huge file (say 10GB) for a non-existing string, fgrep's memory size skyrockets. At a certain point in time its SIZE was 391M (RSS was about 30MB) and the system got rather unreponsive. The string was about 12 bytes big, and we fail to see why grep would need so much.
Is there a good explanation for this? -Guido To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
