I ran a test on some plain text files to try and diagnose this
further, although on a different Debian Etch machine.
Firstly, one line files:
a.txt:word 1
b.txt:word 2
c.txt:word 3
WORKS:
kyr...@blackwidow:/tmp$ grep -i -A1 -m1 ^word *.txt
a.txt:word 1
--
b.txt:word 2
--
c.txt:word 3
kyr...@blackwidow:/tmp$
Then when I add some extra lines to all of the files at the same time
and try the same it segfaults.
Removing the extra lines from the c.txt file still results in a crash.
Removing the extra lines from the c.txt and b.txt files still results
in a crash.
Removing the extra lines from the a.txt, b.txt and c.txt files still
results in normal behaviour once more.
If I add a second line to any one of files on its own, I get the crash back.
The crash also occurs if you use "grep -r" on a directory containing
those files, instead of "*.txt".
Hope that helps.
