Thank you all for the quick response to this bug. It works fine
now (7.5-4) .. unless the output is to a pipe, e.g.
tail -f </etc/passwd | cat
or
tail -f /etc/passwd | cat
in which case it hangs (apparently it was too invasive..).
Interesting--it seems to hang until the first change, at which point it
sends all the output at once. But it isn't because of this patch, as I
get the same result with a build from before the patch was applied.
cf. "tail -f /etc/passwd" and "tail -f /etc/passwd | cat".
