46ab006323 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.

7c3222498a 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.

a5eafc88c5 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.

e46b438575 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.
