Grep 2.5 RHEL 4 package grep-2.5.1-32.2

Hi.   I experience a problem when running grep on a large amount of files with 
the case insensitive option.

Grep will return a certain number of matches but then abort with:

        *** glibc detected *** free(): invalid next size (fast): 0x09801428 ***
        Aborted

This usually happens in recursive mode, but also happens when a large number of 
files is searched with wildcards.

For example:    grep -Ri string ./directorywithlotsoffiles
                        grep -i string ./directorywithlotsoffiles/*

Removing the -i removes the error and the grep run finishes normally.
