Issue
Why does the grep command abort whenever I try and use the "-i" flag?
Grepping for a certain term in case insensitivity mode (the "-i" flag) causes a glibc error. For example:
$ grep -i "insert into" 1-walkway.jpg
*** glibc detected *** free(): invalid next size (fast): 0x08df7898 ***
Aborted
Environment
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 Update 4
- glibc
