Bug#761813: Processed: suspect this bug is no longer relevent

[Simon Deziel]

egrep still consumes a lot of memory for me. A workaround I've been 
using is to add this to /etc/logcheck/logcheck.conf:

# XXX: prevent grep from using incredible amounts of RAM (>3G RSS)
#      this also speeds up grep a lot
export LC_ALL=C
HTH,
Simon
