>Description:
zgrep doesn't correctly handle patterns containing whitespace. The
pattern is divided into different parameters at the whitespace. This
problem is documented in the "getopt(1)" man page.
>How-To-Repeat:
zgrep "signal 4" /var/log/messages.0.gz
>Fix:
Revert to non getopt-based zgrep (FreeBSD 2.1.5 or before)
