> There are certain uncharacterized situations where tail may reset and cause large numbers of duplicates.  A current work-around is to use exec("tail -F <file>") instead of tail/tailDir.  This jira would ideally create a (platform-specific) mechanism to properly tail a file by going to jni or  executing processes under the covers while preserving the tail/tailDir api.
