Package: coreutils
Version: 5.93-5
Severity: normal

As of this version `tail -0f` doesn't work as it's supposed to.  If you give 
it a single filename, it works fine.  If you give it more than one filename, 
it errors out:

# tail -0f /var/log/*
tail: invalid option -- 0
Try `tail --help' for more information.

It fails with any number of lines, not just 0.
