SegFault with specific opzions

Hello everyone,

you can produce a Segmentation fault when you do the following:
     grep -r "asd" --exclude-dir=b
where b must not exist. Note the missing path at the end. If you pass a
path at the end, like . or foobar

The error is

[1]    32294 segmentation fault (core dumped)  grep --color=auto -r
"asd" --exclude-dir=b

The core dump is in the appendix.
I hope you will find a solution for this.

Regards,

Marcel Hellwig
