Display type: cgthree
What were you trying to do?
tail a file
What's wrong:
tail doesn't give the correct number of the end of file.
A sample file that I have trouble with is /mit/gleung/public/apo
(obtained from zephyr-log in bitbucket)
e.g.
tail -300 apo
tail -400 apo
tail -500 apo
all give the same thing
This is not true in other architectures.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
Should be a sun problem. (Solaris sucks?)
Please fix this. Tail is an essential unix tool.
