tail -f stops working



Hi,

Running a mostly woody system, with a few assorted self built and
testing/unstable packages.  Problem is that when I'm doing a tail -f of
a file (eg /var/log/mail.log), sometimes the screen stops updating, even
though the file is being written to.  If I Ctrl-C and restart the tail
it behaves as expected (possibly stopping again later).

Anyone seen this?
