Package: grep
Version: 2.5.1-5
Severity: normal
The manpage for grep states "If an input file is a device, FIFO or socket,
use ACTION to process it." However, if you do something like this:
$ mkdir /tmp/grepbug
$ cd /tmp/grepbug
$ mkfifo fifo-foo
$ grep ---directories=recurse --devices=skip regex .
then grep will stop waiting for input on the fifo. Running under strace
indicates that this is probably because it does open() and then stat(). On
at least the kernel I'm running, open blocks waiting for something at the
other end of the fifo. Furthermore, if I give grep some input on the fifo,
like:
$ echo hi >/tmp/grepbug/fifo-foo
then grep will happily read that and output the match, even though it was
told to ignore fifos.
