The process that hangs has the command line tail -f -n 1.
I installed the following patch to coreutils in an attempt to fix
this. It uses the new isapipe module of gnulib. I think this
finishes off the MacOS X problems you've reported recently.

Single-stepping with next yields a loop in tail.c:
This is because 'tail' is confused again about the distinction between

the code set LC_ALL to the empty string in the first place.
This dates back to this

Do you recall why they were set to '' back then?
Yes, my archives tell me: On 2000-10-15, I sent Jim a mail, reporting
testsuite failures,

After this is fixed, only dd/misc fails, and tail/tail-tests hangs.
Thanks. Your email didn't mention tail/tail-tests after that -- is
that problem known and fixed, or should we look into it further?
