I have a similar problem under LM8.0 while using grep. I have got for example
a directory with 43 header and 27 .cc files. Typing
grep xyz *.h
or
grep xyz *.cc
yields only a bus error.
When I use
find . -name "*.h" -print -exec grep xyz {} \;
grep is being terminated by signal 7 (bus error) on certain files that are
slightly bigger (>90K).
It all went ok on LM7.2. It shouldn't be memory shortage, I recently upgraded
from 128MB to 192MB, or is it maybe related to a faulty memory module?
Any ideas/hints?
Cheers,
Nico
