Hi.

Anyone know a workaround to this abort:

---
 shell/iX> grep "JOB" ./*
**** Illegal instruction address (TRAPS 56).

ABORT: GREP.HPBIN.SYS
[1] + Done (139) grep "JOB" ./*
  721117
Segmentation violation
grep
----

I tried a large stack when running the shell, still aborts.

I searched the HP3000-L archive and Mark Bixby suggested using POSIX "find"
command feeding grep a file at a time (but not in response to grep
aborting) ...

POSIX grep will change the access date.  The above scan in POSIX would be:

find /ACCOUNT/GROUP | xargs grep -i "string"
---

This works on large counts of files --- gets around the seg violation (above)
