>Description:
bsdgrep with --mmap would sometimes cause hang/slow response.
Also it is eating memory when it is very slow/hang.

cd /usr/local/share and compare grep and bsdgrep:

[root@fbsd9-test /usr/local/share]# time grep --mmap -r -e '^Feb' *
deplate/locale/de.latin1:February
deplate/locale/de.latin1:Februar

real    0m1.875s
user    0m0.085s
sys     0m1.327s
[root@fbsd9-test /usr/local/share]# time bsdgrep --mmap -r -e '^Feb' *
^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C

real    1m40.931s
user    0m0.427s
sys     1m22.064s

>How-To-Repeat:
only encounter problem with some files
>Fix:
use GNU grep
