[Savannah-users] grep -F causes infinite loop

[GOTO, Daisuke]

Hello, there,

grep -F causes infinite loop in a text which LOCALE differ.
(LOCALE is a ja_JP.UTF-8, and text is a SJIS)

It did not occur with an old version(GNU grep 2.6.1 or before). 
Moreover, also when there is no LOCALE, it does not occur. 

It is reproducible in the following environments:

# uname -a
Linux myServer 2.6.32-279.19.1.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Dec 19 07:05:20 UTC 2012 
x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

# cat /etc/redhat-release
CentOS release 6.3 (Final)

# grep -V
GNU grep 2.6.3

(infinite loop...)
