Hello All,

I am a support engineer from Microsoft trying to help my Customer Maziyar S=
amadzadeh. We have been notified by Maziyar that when they perform a Query =
on a bigger database using GREP we get the following error

GREP: Memory Exhausted

We have figured that at one point during the Query the application starts a=
llocating memory drastically till we get this error. This happens probably =
within 30 seconds. On Further research we found that the GREP application h=
as same behaviour on UNIX and LINUX environment. This seems to be same on W=
indows Environment too. However, in Windows the application cannot grow bey=
ond 2GB so it crashes at that mark.

Do we have any know issues with GREP. If Yes, has this been taken care in l=
ater updates? Please update us regarding the issue as soon as possible.
