FWIW, I'm not totally sure this is exactly the bug that Sam reported.
(The line may be longer or shorter on Solaris; there, /usr/xpg4/bin/grep
is documented to have a limit of LINE_MAX = 2.48 bytes (
Apologies for the cross post.
AIX grep allows 2048 characters in a line, and fails otherwise.
This breaks coreutils-5.96 configure:
| grep: Maximum line length of 2048 exceeded.
[...]
| grep: Maximum line length of 2048 exceeded.
| configure: error: could not make ./config.status
because of this
