Description David Dillow 2003-07-23 00:55:24 EDT

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/1.2.7 (X11; Linux i686; U;) Gecko/20030131

Description of problem:
The following command will cause sed to segfault:

echo 'scripts/Makefile.lib 1.20: 238 lines' | sed -re 's/^(.*)+
[[:digit:]]+\.[[:digit:]]+: [[:digit:]]+ lines/\1/'

If you remove the first + sign (after the close parenthesis), it works fine.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
sed-4.0.5-1

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run the above command
2.
3.
    

Actual Results:  Segmentation fault

Comment 1 Jakub Jelinek 2003-08-04 03:41:44 EDT

Works for me with sed-4.0.7-{2,3} and glibc-2.3.2-6{3,6}.
Though with the + there I'm not sure if it gives you exactly what you wanted,
particularly that \1 is empty string.
