Package: coreutils
Version: 7.5-3
Severity: normal

"tail -f" no longer works with stdin.  E.g. commands such as

        somecommand | tail -f -
        somecommand | tail -f
        tail -f </var/log/kern

fail with the message:

        tail: cannot watch `-': No such file or directory

Worked under 7.4-2 and previous versions.

Thanks..  Bill
