This isn't a grave issue, but I came across it while exploring integer
overflow and think it's worth sharing.
grep represents line numbers with an int, which predictably overflows
for inputs with >= 2^31 newlines. This is easy to demonstrate using the
-n option and a debugging printf.
The below diff fixes this, and tunes up a for loop while I'm in there.
ok?
