Question Getting Segmention fault error while searching string in csv file

I am using grep command to search in a particular file whose size is 11 GB and i am getting Segmentation fault error as an output.

My command and output is as follows:
Code:
[sdpuser@gnnsdp40 test]$ cat new* | grep 8858406465
Segmentation fault

My linux version is as follows:
Code:
[sdpuser@gnnsdp40 test]$ uname -a
Linux gnnsdp40 2.6.18-164.el5 #1 SMP Tue Aug 18 15:51:48 EDT 2009 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Please guide me how i can parse the complete file for searching string.
I have also used split command of linux which splits the file of 11 GB to 11 files of 1 GB each respectively.
But still getting the same "Segmentation fault" error while using grep.
Please guide me for the above.

Thanks in advance.
