Description of problem:
I was using grep with a Perl regular expression to find files containing blank lines, but with some whitespace (i.e. a tab or a space).

One file (from about 20) caused grep to Segmentation fault.  This file was unique from the others since the last line was empty (i.e. it has an additional newline at the end).

I found that creating a file with a single newline caused the same Segmentation fault.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
grep-2.5.1-7.8

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. echo "\n" > temp.txt
2. grep -P '^\s+$' temp.txt


Actual Results:  Segmentation fault

Expected Results:  No Segmentation fault


Additional info:

I tried the same command on serveral different Ferdora platforms, and all give the same Segmentation fault.  Specifically:

RedHat Linux 9 (i686)
Fedora Core 1 (i686)
Fedora Core 3 (i686)
Fedora Core 3 (x86_64)
