Package: grepmail
Version: 5.23-1
Severity: normal

When running grepmail on a large, compressed mbox (I haven't tried with an
uncompressed one), grepmail eventually prints "Out of memory!" and quits.
It works fine on smaller mailboxes, and I don't see why grepmail should need
to store such a large amount of data in memory in order to do its work, so I
assume there is a bug somewhere.
