-m is documented to exclude later matching lines from context, but this 
is nonintuitive and perhaps it should be fixed to not do that. This was 
reported on Savannah a while ago; I'm sending this to bug-grep so that 
it gets a proper bug number.  Please see:

for the original bug report, and:

for Jim Meyering's thoughts about a fix.
