I used "tail -F /var/log/local3" in my little shell script 
to scan log for some string.  
When i change release from 3.X to 4.0 
tail sometimes (may be once in a day or hours) 
rescan log from begining and alarm me about problem
which has being occurred hours before.

It was coz " sb2.st_rdev != sbp->st_rdev"
in /usr/src/usr.bin/tail/forward.c.
I've commented this out and became happy.


Q: Wtf is st_rdev in regular files in FreeBSD 4.0-RELEASE?
