This is interesting because I don't have 2 fgrep's on my 3B1, and I have
installed 3.51 and the fixdisk (to 3.51a).

What is even more interesting (probably more so for you than for me) is that
my /bin/fgrep is the same size as your /bin/fgrep.  The question now is
where did the /usr/bin/fgrep come from?

This doesn't provide any answers to your question I guess, except that since
I just got my 3B1 two weeks ago and installed the OS recently, if it were
something in the installation I should have two also.  Perhaps it came from
some other software you installed??
