retitle 1141238 agrep: wildcard patterns fail when lines cross input block 
boundaries
thanks

the non-simple patterns fail when the input straddles a block boundary,
which happens at 49152 bytes. all the agrep code is a total mess and
the code that deals with wildcard patterns doesn't handle partial
lines properly.

but at least one of this code's many duplicate sortakinda siblings 
does handle partial lines, so... workaround: use static patterns for now,
ie. agrep 'alias chloe-ramsey-lavoie' ...whatever... which works.
