Fedora Update Notification
FEDORA-2006-1290
2006-12-12
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Product     : Fedora Core 6
Name        : grep
Version     : 2.5.1
Release     : 54.1.2.fc6
Summary     : The GNU versions of grep pattern matching utilities.
Description :
The GNU versions of commonly used grep utilities.  Grep searches
through textual input for lines which contain a match to a specified
pattern and then prints the matching lines.  GNU's grep utilities
include grep, egrep and fgrep.

You should install grep on your system, because it is a very useful
utility for searching through text.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:

This update aims to address "memory exhausted" errors from
grep, and fixes a problem with matching against empty patterns.
