Jon,

Regarding commit 392356f6b48c12d8ee3fda4f1a75641dbcfa98c2 ...

Whereas `tail -f` displays the last 10 lines of input before entering
follow mode, `tail +0f` displays the *entire* input before entering follow
mode (the number is the line of input to start on).  I'm not certain
what the context is, so I cannot judge whether the substitution is
reasonable, but the two commands (while similar) are not equivalent.

It works correctly with my Solaris tail, and seems to be supported by
GNU tail as well.  Did it break somewhere for you?  If so, the proper
POSIX arguments would be `tail -n +0 -f`
