http://bugs.exim.org/show_bug.cgi?id=810 Summary: Segfault on pcregrep '(.)*' /dev/zero Product: PCRE Version: 7.8 Platform: All OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: bug Priority: medium Component: Code AssignedTo: [email protected] ReportedBy: [email protected] CC: [email protected] $ pcregrep --version pcregrep version 7.8 2008-09-05 $ pcregrep '(.)*' /dev/zero Segmentation fault (core dumped) I’ve reproduced this on several machines. This one is running Ubuntu Jaunty amd64 with pcregrep 7.8-2ubuntu1. I was bitten by a more complicated case of this problem on real files. The crash can be avoided by configuring pcre with --disable-stack-for-recursion, but I am surprised that such an apparently simple test case leads to infinite recursion. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.exim.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email -- ## List details at http://lists.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/pcre-dev
