--- Comment #6 from Wolfram Schneider <wosch@FreeBSD.org> ---
I can confirm that the problem still exists on 15-CURRENT. bsdgrep eats all
memory until killed by the kernel:

$ grep . /dev/zero
Killed


gnugrep and ripgrep don't have this memory problem, they just run in an endless
loop as expected.
