I pulled the recent posting of GNU e?grep (apparently ported by Charles Martlett) off comp.binaries.ibm.pc today. It doesn't appear to work on my machine. At first glance, it seemed pretty fast. But it failed the khadafy test in spectacular fashion - it simply locked my machine up solid (well, CTRL-ALT-DEL still works). A little further playing around revealed that a small subset of the full khadafy regexp (M[ou]'?) would start the daydreaming. Is anyone having better luck? Norbert
