This is a bug report for perl from [EMAIL PROTECTED],
generated with the help of perlbug 1.35 running under perl v5.8.5.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
[Please enter your report here]
The function getgrent throws an error if a line in /etc/groups gets
too long (> 3000 characters). This error can be reproduced as follows:
1/ Manually add a large number of users to a group in /etc/group. It doesn't
really matter if these are real users or not, as long as the line exceeds
3000 characters.
2/ perl -e 'use User::grent; while (my $gr = getgrent() ) { print
$gr->name."\n"; }'
This will return an "Out of memory!" message.
