Hallo! I just stumbled upon the following. If I do
# cd / # grep -r * stuff it outputs files for maybe half a second then hangs the whole machine. The last matches were under /dev. I can't remember grep ever scanning device files, but maybe it's just me... If I do the same as user the process exits at the same point with a message amounting to "out of memory." The machine is a P3-650E with 256MB RAM (+256MB swap) and ~200MB files on all disks. A quite fresh potato-test-2 install. Any comments? Christian
