Thanks for pointing that out. Actually I had read up on all the options 
but the man page information on the -l option was misleading. I quoteth:

"[...] The scanning will stop on the first match."

I took that to mean that fgrep itself would stop scanning, not that the 
scanning of further matches in this particular file would stop.

Thanks for clearing that up!
