That's a fairly old version. I have no problem with the coreutils 5.0
tail on Debian:
22-mae $ tail -n 1 big
bar
23-mae $ ls -l big
-rw-rw-r-- 1 eggert eggert 4294967363 2003-08-11 18:50 big
24-mae $ uname -a
Linux mae 2.4.21-pre3-40828c #1 Tue Jan 7 17:50:25 PST 2003 i686 GNU/Linux
25-mae $ tail --version | sed 1q
tail (coreutils) 5.0
Perhaps all you need to do is update coreutils. Also, it's possible
that it's a problem with a cygwin library somewhere.
