Hello Corinna, Thank you for the reply, I was unable to find the information on mailing list on the CYGWIN page. Is it some other location you are referring too?

Since you found that the Cygwin version of grep doesn't behave differently than the Unix and Linux versions, it's apparently a generic problem in grep. Consequentially the bug report should go to the grep bug reporting mailing list which you can find in the BUGS section of the grep man page. Btw., the BUGS section in the grep man page also contains some interesting hints about situations which require lots of memory and exponential time/space.
