grep 2.5 bug

[Laurent Papier]

Hi,
I found a bug today in grep 2.5. The bug is that a string is not found in a file
with -F and -w options.

Here is how to reproduce it:
address@hidden papier]$ echo -e "az\na" | grep -F -w a
address@hidden papier]$ 

The word 'a' is not found.

This bug occurs only:
- with -F and -w options
- when you search a word that match the beginning of a word on a line before the
line that should match.

This bug doesn't exist in grep 2.2.
This bug occurs on both linux/i386 and AIX/ppc.

If you need more info, just ask for.

Regards.
