Description Scott Collins 2003-10-14 15:05:07 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.4)

Description of problem:
a grep of a fairly large file takes ~6 seconds when the users shell is bash. 
When it is tcsh it takes > 860 seconds.  This is consistent and 100%
reproducable across redhat 8.0 and 9.0 versions even fully patched.

Command line example:
# echo $SHELL
/bin/bash
# ls -l
total 383592

# time grep -c ">" singletons.tblastn.pep

This might be a locale issue.
Please attach the output of (which grep) and (locale)
under both bash and tcsh.
The version of grep (as reported by (rpm -q grep)) is also important.

Thanks.
