Hello,

Please find attached an update for the 64-egf-speedup.patch patch.
The other patches did not need to be updated and can be found in the
#181378 log.

This update intend to fix:
echo foobar | grep -Fw ""
(which was hanging with the previous version)

echo test | LC_ALL=C grep -Fw test
echo x test x | LC_ALL=C grep -Fw test

which were not working and were fixed by Tim Waugh (original author of the
patches).

I intend to mail Tim Waugh about the first issue, to check if my fix is
correct/optimal. grep being slow on UTF-8 is not that critical, it may be
better to wait his answer before releasing it. I will CC the BTS.

Kind Regards,
