Bug#4182: grep on /proc/kcore dumps core
Package: grep
Version: 2.0-5
Reproduce by:
# grep foo /proc/kcore
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
While grepping on /proc/kcore is something you would not ordinarily
do, grep should still not dump core. I originally stepped on this
with "find / | xargs grep foo".
