Grep

[Stephen Larcombe]

I am using djgpp dos version of grep, and just tried using on a new computer 
running Windows XP

When I pipe an out put from one command to grep as follows:

C:> another_command | grep string
Exiting due to signal SIGSEGV
General Protection Fault at eip=000116e3

Call frame traceback EIPs:
  0x000116e3
  0x0000187a
  0x00001985
  0x00002317
  0x00002782
  0x0000423c
  0x00010f1a


Other commands work okay with "pipe"

Any ideas what is happening, or where I should look for a newer version of grep?

Yours

Stephen
