bug#22357: grep -f huge memory usage |

Using the files [1], [2] (around 1.4 MB each) and running the
following command:
$ grep -v -f file1 file2
quickly consumes all of my memory (16 GB) and exits with memory
exhausted error. I have reports that it behave the same on machine
with 180 GB RAM. Well, -F should be used as there are no regexes,
but the same worked with grep-2.5.1 and consumed only cca 0.5 GB of RAM.
Maybe there is a room for optimization
thanks & regards
Jaroslav
