I can't reproduce your problem with tail from the 2.0 series and I
don't have any of the old 1.x series around to try.  I assume it has
been fixed.  Thanks for the report.  The latest test release is
available at

  ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/fetish/

Being on WinNT I am sure you are using the Cygwin utilities.  You
don't say which version of Cygwin you are using but I am sure they
have a newer version available.  The cygwin home page is at:

They have newer versions available.
