input data to reproduce the bug mentioned in the PR
Please try this package: ftp://people.redhat.com/twaugh/tmp/grep-2.5.1-17.4.i386.rpm and let me know whether it fixes the problem for you. Yes, it seems to fix my problem. At least my testcases don't fail anymore. An errata has been issued which should help the problem described in this bug report. This report is therefore being closed with a resolution of ERRATA. For more information on the solution and/or where to find the updated files, please follow the link below. You may reopen this bug report if the solution does not work for you. http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2004-079.html |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4.1) Gecko/20031114 Description of problem: grep '^[bs][ir][nc]' <file> occasionally reports incorrect results. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): grep > 2.5.1-17 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Download the file foo from the attachment. 2. Run grep '^[bs][ir][nc]' foo > out Each line from file foo is supposed to match the regex, so wc -l foo and wc -l out should report the same number of lines Actual Results: # grep '^[bs][ir][nc]' foo > out && wc -l foo out 445 foo 397 out 842 total In a LANG=en_US.UTF-8 environment, the number of lines differ, apparently the regex match has failed. In a C-locale, this issue does not occur: # LANG=C grep '^[bs][ir][nc]' foo > out && wc -l foo out 445 foo 445 out 890 total Expected Results: Function. The input file is plain ASCII and does not contain any UTF-8 chars. Additional info: grep-2.5.1-17 was not affected. In FC1, grep-2.5.1-17.2 was the first version of grep to expose this issue. All versions in rawhide / FC1/development up to and including 2.5.1-22 suffer from this issue.
