Subject: Bug#4182: grep on /proc/kcore dumps core

From: Bill Wohler <[email-masked]>
Date: Fri, 16 Aug 1996 15:27:09 -0700

Package: grep
Version: 2.0-5

  Reproduce by:

	# grep foo /proc/kcore
	Segmentation fault (core dumped)

  While grepping on /proc/kcore is something you would not ordinarily
  do, grep should still not dump core.  I originally stepped on this
  with "find / | xargs grep foo".

  System stuff:

	Linux uluru 2.0.0 #2 Tue Jul 23 16:32:09 PDT 1996 i686
	Debian 1.1
	/lib/libc.so.5 -> libc.so.5.2.18
