What were you trying to do?
See if tail had been fixed in the new release.
What went wrong?
It hasn't.
; wc -l /etc/termcap
1937 /etc/termcap
; tail -1000 /etc/termcap | wc -l
1000
; tail -2000 /etc/termcap | wc -l
1411
; tail -3000 /etc/termcap | wc -l
1411
What should have happened?
; gtail -1000 /etc/termcap | wc -l
1000
; gtail -1900 /etc/termcap | wc -l
1900
; gtail -2000 /etc/termcap | wc -l
1937
; gtail -3000 /etc/termcap | wc -l
1937
Anything else you'd like to add?
Yeah, can we replace /usr/bin with the GNU fileutils? :-)
