As a follow-up to my earlier posting regarding the bug in fgrep(1),
I have isolated the bug down to the following 'minimal' set of strings.

In the 'strings' file:
abcd
cef
bg

In the 'text' input file:
abcef

Then, enter the command:

fgrep -f strings text

If you have the bug, fgrep will fail to match the string 'cef' to the text line.
