coreutils? I have no such command. I'm running Suse 10.1
ah wait, tail --version mentions coreutils
tail (GNU coreutils) 5.93

That is weird. What version of coreutils are you running? What distro?

Strange, my system works with +x as the only option, and in every
experience i have, it's worked that way (incl unix).
Maybe we can all do a test with it and see what the deal is - I've
attached a text file with lines counting to 30 for testing purposes,
but you can do whatever you want with it ;-)

I believe that the '+' has to be used in conjunction with an option,
for example:
$ tail -n +300 big_file.txt
If you just issue "+x" as an option (where 'x' is an integer) it
attempts to open the file named "+x"... at least on my system it does.
