although the filename ends with a ".db", it is just a text file. not
tailing a SQLite or a binary file, just happened to name it so.
I work around the same sort elsewhere thusly:
with open("/tmp/pmaster.db",encoding="utf-8",errors="ignore") as fobj:
or even with codecs
with codecs.open("/tmp/pmaster.db",encoding="utf-8",errors="ignore") as fobj:
I think I've to follow suit here, instead of tail, apparently there's
no "errors=ignore" for subprocess.
I was hoping subprocess would be impervious to decoding errors, as the
text is coming from tail.
