PROBLEM: (73949, UVO59438) (PATCH ID: OSF445-034) ******** This patch corrects a problem with the fgrep command, when it is used with the -s flag all output is suppressed. PROBLEM: (49626, 50301, 51528, 79566) (PATCH ID: OSF445-078) ******* This patch fixes several problems with fgrep: 1) The command fgrep -f searchlist gets the following error message: wordlist too large if the searchlist is too long, in the test case it was 1500 entries. 2) The command fgrep -f searchlist displays datafiles verbatim if the searchlist has blank lines. PROBLEM: (EVT43299A, CFS.79281) (PATCH ID: OSF445-155) ******** This patch fixes a problem in which the grep command with the -w switch does not work as documented. PROBLEM: (89117) (PATCH ID: OSF445-617) ******** Grep command was hanging while executing with '-w' and '-f' options, if a blank line is present in the pattern file. To resolve this problem, an additional check was included in the function check_list() to consider the pattern '\n'.
