I think this is a different issue. fgrep(1) isn't POSIX, but it
works on some older OSs (was it solaris?) with an old grep(1) not
supporting -F. The -w flag to grep(1) isn't POSIX either, but
according to Thorkil it behaves *differently* on different platforms.

@Thorkil: could you send me some examples of grep -Fw differences?

Ciao,
        Kili

ps: does grep -w work on solaris?
