-Hi Nelson,
-
-Thanks for the report.
-I debated whether to add an entry to NEWS, but opted not to,
-since it is unlikely that anyone will see the result of this fix.
-
-Here's the patch:

-Subject: [PATCH] grep: make kwset's obstack use xmalloc, not malloc
-
-This insidious bug could make grep fail to diagnose a failed malloc,
-and then proceed to dereference the resulting NULL pointer.
-Note that this bug was unlikely ever to cause real trouble; without
-the fix, grep would segfault upon OOM, now it exits with a diagnostic.
-* src/kwset.c (malloc) [GREP]: Define without the "(s)" macro
-parameter, so that unadorned uses of malloc are also mapped to xmalloc.
-One such use is in the expansion of obstack_init.
-Report and patch by Nelson H. F. Beebe, in
-http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.grep.bugs/2995
