Hi,

Please consider this patch to clarify the use of multiple -e and -f
options in grep. I think the current documentation is inconsistent with
grep behaviour and POSIX man page for grep.

This patch is intended to close another long-standing bug reported in
Debian: https://bugs.debian.org/356120

Cheers,

Santiago

And now that I'm cleaning the patches applied to the debian package,
here is another tiny patch.

Cheers,

Santiago

Thanks for the bug report. I installed the attached, which is not quite the same 
as the patches you suggested, but which should address the issues.
