That's a fairly old version. I have no problem with the coreutils 5.0 tail on Debian: 22-mae $ tail -n 1 big bar 23-mae $ ls -l big -rw-rw-r-- 1 eggert eggert 4294967363 2003-08-11 18:50 big 24-mae $ uname -a Linux mae 2.4.21-pre3-40828c #1 Tue Jan 7 17:50:25 PST 2003 i686 GNU/Linux 25-mae $ tail --version | sed 1q tail (coreutils) 5.0 Perhaps all you need to do is update coreutils. Also, it's possible that it's a problem with a cygwin library somewhere. _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
