That seems rather unlikely... at least not in such a way as to affect
the rather simple grep that you're using. More likely, your input to
the script has changed and you didn't notice (or your real script is
different from the one you posted). Maybe there is not a space
character on either side of the IL that you are trying to match? That
would be my first guess...
I removed the "$1" and it printed the correct file in the /blah/blah
doirectory, but the script failed to spit out an email. Here's the input:

THIS IS AN APPROXIMATION TO THE WATCH AREA. FOR A
COMPLETE DEPICTION OF THE WATCH SEE WOUS64 KWNS
FOR WOU3.
It should hit on the first "IL". Can someone try this on FC4 and see what
happens for you?
I still suspect wc or grep changed its options.
