A simple grep command, 'grep -vf patternfile inputfile' works on Linux,
but the same command doesn't work on FreeBSD-6.1.
To make it work I found I had to use -F to force the interpretation of
fixed-strings. I don't know why it made a difference from Linux, and
nothing in the man page appears to mention why.
Kind regards,
Stephen Allen
