eb1c943900 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.

ac5512704d 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.

49a598ab87 when file can be opened for read but cannot be read from:
fail once (was twice) in forward case
fail once (was no times) in reverse case

this can happen when file is a directory on an NFS or procfs mount.
