http://bugs.gentoo.org/149426

keep from blowing up when people have duplicate aliases ... the grep
ends up including new lines and with certain formed comments, hits an
infinite loop ...

for example, the following inputs illustrates the problem:
----------------------------------------------
# Old nvidia support ...
alias char-major-195 NVdriver
alias /dev/nvidiactl char-major-195
alias char-major-195 nvidia
alias /dev/nvidiactl char-major-195
#   To enable Side Band Adressing:  NVreg_EnableAGPSBA=1
#options nvidia NVreg_EnableAGPSBA=1 NVreg_EnableAGPFW=1
#options nvidia NVreg_SoftEDIDs=0 NVreg_Mobile=3
----------------------------------------------
alias a b
alias b a
