# Ensure that tail does not ignore data that is appended to a tailed-forever
# file between tail's initial read-to-EOF, and when the inotify watches
# are established in tail_forever_inotify.  That data could be ignored
# indefinitely if no *other* data is appended, but it would be printed as
# soon as any additional appended data is detected.
