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.
