grep crash with -i about git HOT 7 OPEN

echo $PATH | tr ":" "\n" | grep -x -i -F '/c/WINDOWS'

That doesn't reproduce it for me.

Neither for me:

from git.

With this I get no problems:
echo '' | grep -F '/'

Instead this crash:
echo '' | grep -i -F '/'

Any idea what I can do to debug the problem?

@ale5000-git does this also happen with a regular MSYS2?

No, the regular MSYS2 doesn't have this problem.

As second attempt I have tried to use msys-2.0.dll from regular MSYS2 to replace the one of Git for Windows and it also fix the issue, so the issue is definitively inside your msys-2.0.dll.

How can I furter debug it?
Is there a guide to use the pdbs-for-git-64-bit-2.46.0.rc1.windows.1-1.zip?

No, but that would not help you here, either.

I can only see one way forward: For you to build the MSYS2 runtime locally and then bisect:

1. install Git for Windows' SDK,
2. sdk cd msys2-runtime,
3. sdk build
4. copy the generated MSYS2 runtime (it should be in ../build-x86_64-pc-msys/x86_64-pc-msys/winsup/cygwin/msys) to a PortableGit for testing
5. Start bisecting. It should be possible to accelerate the build by taking the make -C ../build-x86_64-pc-msys/x86_64-pc-msys/winsup/cygwin/ msys-2.0.dll shortcut.
