Hello, there, grep -F causes infinite loop in a text which LOCALE differ. (LOCALE is a ja_JP.UTF-8, and text is a SJIS)
It did not occur with an old version(GNU grep 2.6.1 or before). Moreover, also when there is no LOCALE, it does not occur. It is reproducible in the following environments: # uname -a Linux myServer 2.6.32-279.19.1.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Dec 19 07:05:20 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux # cat /etc/redhat-release CentOS release 6.3 (Final) # grep -V GNU grep 2.6.3 Copyright (C) 2009 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
