>
> There are certain uncharacterized situations where tail may reset and cause
> large numbers of duplicates. A current work-around is to use exec("tail -F
> <file>") instead of tail/tailDir. This jira would ideally create a
> (platform-specific) mechanism to properly tail a file by going to jni or
> executing processes under the covers while preserving the tail/tailDir api.
