Thanks. The response there makes it clear that if grep passes arbitrary binary data to PCRE, and if grep uses PCRE_NO_UTF8_CHECK, undefined behavior will result (maybe infinite loop, core dump, etc.). We can't have undefined behavior in grep. A simple fix is to avoid using PCRE_NO_UTF8_CHECK so I installed the attached patch to do that. Perhaps we can think of a better way at some point. In the meantime I'm taking the liberty of closing Bug#17245 and Bug#16586.
