File positions are off_t nowdays, not long, so:
...
long -> off_t
strtol -> strtoll
fseek -> fseeko
NOTE: that fseek not works for >long offsets files per POSIX:
[EOVERFLOW] For fseek( ), the resulting file offset would be a value which
cannot be represented correctly in an object of type long.

Add a new -F flag which is a superset of -f. It will cause tail to
...
stat() the file being followed and do a close/reopen if the file has been
renamed and/or rotated. This is damn useful for leaving running on files
in /var/log when newsyslog(8) rotates them.

Argh! caught! *blush*.. This program was supplying it's own 'err' routine

which was slightly different to the libc one. To save any more cunfusion,
use the libc one.
