Hello,
Thanks for the report.
Can you repeat the tests with the very latest snapshot?
http://meyering.net/cu/coreutils-ss.tar.gz 9.4 MB
http://meyering.net/cu/coreutils-ss.tar.xz 4.0 MB
If any of those failures persist, we *might* have time to address
one or two before coreutils-8.4, which is slated to be released today.
Sorry, I could test again before release 8.4 :-)
However, it does fix the problems I observed with tail, thanks!
The problems with utimens (RedHat3/x86_64), nonspeel and sleep
(RedHat4/x86) are still present though.
Christophe.
