Details:

There is problem with grep version 2.5.1 and 2.5.1a (2.4.2 is ok)

$ (echo 'foo';echo 'fo') > /tmp/testfile
$ /tmp/grep-2.5.1/src/grep -F -w fo /tmp/testfile
$ /tmp/grep-2.4.2/src/grep -F -w fo /tmp/testfile
fo

Another example

$ cat T3
123.45.13.11

$ cat T1
123.45.13.112 sdfgsdfhdryjh
123.45.13.117 sdfgfjuufykt
123.45.13.118 hgj6rjesrjtyt
123.45.13.119 thyrior4j
123.45.13.11 yjrutjetsju

$ /tmp/grep-2.5.1/src/grep -F -w -f T3 T1

$ /tmp/grep-2.4.2/src/grep -F -w -f T3 T1
123.45.13.11 yjrutjetsju


Fedora Core 3 has working version of grep 2.5.1 and patch is available as
grep-2.5.1-fgrep.patch (patch from FC4 does not work).
