I'm sorry that a few folks are unhappy with the little utility I
wrote for my own use. I've made some minor cleanups and have
attached a patch for that purpose.
I do not claim that this is portable software. There are no
system-dependent #ifdef's, no configure script, no build time tests
to see how your system works. I have no plans to figure out how to
obtain BSD compatibility from AIX, HP-UX, Solaris, SCO, or any other
systems. If it is useful to you I am happy, if not, perhaps you
should seek another solution. It really is a trivial little bit of
code.
I've addressed two questions outstanding, below.
Thanks,

No, not necessary. Taildir uses the current directory if none is
specified. This segfault is due to the fact that on some systems
scandir returns a null pointer as the 'names' array. I've added a
check for that, fixed some little portability things, and some
things to appease 'gcc -pedantic' in the patch file attached here.
The underlying problem with your segfault is that there are no
cyclog logs in the directory.

I also can't seem to get a -static version of this to compile...
and I had to add /usr/ucblib to my LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
but, as you can see, it still doesn't run.
Uh, it ran fine. There were no cyclog logs in ".". That's what 'no
such file..." is intended to convey.
