>Description:
"fgrep -i numeric_or_symbol" or "grep -F -i numeric_or_symbol" stalls
when a file contains null character.
"fgrep -i alphabet_only" does not stall.
fgrep without -i does not.
grep, egrep and original GNU fgrep (ports/textproc/gnugrep) does not.
>How-To-Repeat:
dd if=/dev/zero bs=1 count=1 | fgrep -i 1
