I agree with Matthias that the issue arises when 'tail -r' is reading from a pipe. I looked at the GitHub mirror and downloaded a few src tarballs around recent commits to tail. Building tail from: https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd/tree/97a2ca501c7e9f07a80339a88fbb5a46977ae428 does not manifest the bug. However, tail built from: https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd/tree/2fef72832029bcc228a527dd9c423ba34a7490e9 does. IANAE, but it appears the bug may have crept in during: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D9067 HTH, Jim
