- Can miss some characters when tailing forever.
   Do "colortail -f foo.txt". Open foo.txt in a text editor and go to the
bottom of foo.txt. Type for example a 'a'. Then save the file. Then type a
'b' and save the file. Then type a 'c' and save the file. Then finally add a
return to the end of that line and save the file. Then write for example
'bar' with a return and save the file.
That will ge this output:

a
c
bar

The 'b' has gone to /dev/null or something. The same test with "tail -f
foo.txt" gives this output:

a


bar

Tail missed both the 'b' and the 'c'.

I have no idea who is stealing this characters. Can it be Bill Gates? :)
I think it can have something to do with the file functions in the c library
but I'm just guessing.
If you have any solution or workaround to this please send me a mail so I
can fix this annoying bug (don't think it can be called a feature :) ).
