Alpha OSF/1 V1.3 - the problem with fgrep.... It does not cause a
problem with configure... The bug is in "autoheader". So, if you have a
set of configure files - all is ok. But if you ever want to rebuild
them, and autoheader is called, the files will break...
This problem still exists in V2.0...
I don't think there is a bug per se in fgrep - as the misfeature is
documented....
From the man page:
Lines are limited to 512 bytes; longer lines are broken into multiple lines
of 512 or fewer bytes (grep only). Paragraphs (under the -p flag) are
currently limited to a length of 10000 bytes.
I guess the error in the man page is that fgrep does it as well...
