Tail version 5.96 (as supplied in Fedora Core 5) has a bug where it
does not recognize "+" as a command-line argument:
$ tail +4 /etc/hosts
tail: cannot open `+4' for reading: No such file or directory
This does not comply with the supplied man-page:
If the first character of N (the number of bytes or lines) is a '+',
print beginning with the Nth item from the start of each file, other-
wise, print the last N items in the file. N may have a multiplier suf-
fix: b 512, k 1024, m 1024*1024.

Kevin Burtch
