[Message part 3 (text/plain, inline)]

hi all,

I am quite surprised that my grep (suddenly?) has problems with large files:

 fiano:~$ ls -l todelete.txt 
 -rw-r--r-- 1 brunni users 2981338204 Nov  4 13:40 todelete.txt
 fiano:~$ grep test todelete.txt
 grep: todelete.txt: Value too large for defined data type

I work with files > 2GB regularly and used to have these problems years ago.
Upgrading from grep-2.14 to grep-2.22 did not help. The configure output
containing "large" is:

 checking for special C compiler options needed for large files... no
 checking for _FILE_OFFSET_BITS value needed for large files... 64

I tried compiling without PCRE but this did not help either. My basic setup
is glibc-2.22, gcc 4.7.4 and Linux 3.4.109.

Any ideas what could be going wrong?

Regards,

Michael Brunnbauer

Since this problem was not in 'grep' I am closing the bug report.
