--------------------------------------------------
What error did you get before you swapped IOUtils.closeQuietly for the inline
code?
I see now: when an active file is renamed, the reader RAF still points to the
original file, but operations on the File variable will use the new file.
(Luckily File#length() returns 0 if the file does not exist, so the code should
not mind if it catches the window between rename and creation of the new file.)
Why does the patch set last = 0?
