Thanks.

Bug#335637: coreutils: tail -f -n 100 /var/log/messages | less G hangs

[Kingsley G. Morse Jr.]

Package: coreutils
Version: 5.2.1-2.1
Severity: normal


Thanks for maintaining debian's coreutils package.

It has really useful code.

I noticed that typing the following as root:

tail -f -n 100 /var/log/messages | less

and then pressing upper case G in less to go to
the end of the file, hangs.

Perhaps this is related to bug #298620.

Thanks,
Kingsley
