Bug#344087: grep-dctrl: segfaults with -l options

[Vincent Fourmond]

Package: grep-dctrl
Version: 2.6.7
Severity: normal
Tags: patch


  grep-dctrl segfaults when the -l options is passed. It does seem linked to a 
typo in the file 
grep-dctrl.c. Patch is attached that does the trick.

  Thanks for considering this report
