Grep dies, why?

[Alex Waltrip <alexwaltrip home com>]

Is anyone experiencing the following,  whenever I do a find/grep like the following:
find / -exec grep -il "*rpm" {} \; | more
the command runs forever, never finishes, just sits there sleeping.
- Output from ps -A -o "pid,user,pri,sz,rssize,stat,pcpu,pmem,time,cmd" | grep find is
                             "1436 root      42   438  696 S    0.0  0.1 00:00:00 find / -exec grep -il grep"
I've upgraded to the latest grep and pcre packages but nothing changes.
Any thoughts.

Thanks in advance.

System:
- Redhat 7.0
- Kernel 2.2-16 i686
- 512MB RAM memory, have the following line in lilo.conf,  append="mem=512M,hdb=ide-scsi"
- Version of grep is "grep-2.5b-1", happens with 2.4.2-4 also.
