Public bug reported: agrep sometimes finds a line under exact matching, but not under inexact matching. I couldn't come up with a small test case, but http://web.mit.edu/ecprice/Public/broken-agrep-example.gz has a 1.3 million line test case:
$ wget http://web.mit.edu/ecprice/Public/broken-agrep-example.gz -O - | zcat > case [...] $ agrep ^waterfal$ case #correct waterfal $ agrep -S1 ^waterfal$ case #should be identical to previous, but isn't $ agrep -1 ^waterfal$ case #incorrect in last line waterfall waterval aterfal $ agrep ^aterfal$ case #as you can see here. $ I'm also a bit confused by the relation between the version in Ubuntu and the version (3.41) at http://www.tgries.de/agrep/ . The ubuntu version number is 4.17, but agrep -V claims to be version 3.0. It seems like version 3.41 had a substantial amount of development in 96-97. It also doesn't have this bug.
