>Release:        FreeBSD 4.0-STABLE i386
>Organization:
Silverbrook  Research
>Environment:

	FreeBSD 4.0-STABLE, build world from CVSup'd sources June 26 2000.

>Description:

	Tail -f on the output of a long running job is exiting.  Sometimes
	there is a message "Resource temporarily unavailable" (i.e, something
	returned EAGAIN) and other times there is no message but the exit status
	is 1.

>How-To-Repeat:

	Have a long running job with large amounts of output directing
	its output to a file, make buildworld is a good candidate. Then
	tail -f the file the output is being sent to. Wait for it to
	exit.
