What makes you think it's a memory leak?  Perhaps grep simply ran out of memory.

greping 4 or more urandom

% grep --version
grep (GNU grep) 2.14

% ls /lib/udev/devices/
initctl  null  ppp  shm  urandom  X0R  zero

% find /lib/udev/devices/ -name "*" -exec grep -H "aaaa" {} \;
grep: /lib/udev/devices/: Is a directory
grep: /lib/udev/devices/ppp: Permission denied
grep: /lib/udev/devices/shm: Is a directory
grep: memory exhausted
