Possible bug in tail(1)

[list at museum.rain.com]

I agree with Matthias that the issue arises when 'tail -r' is reading
from a pipe.

I looked at the GitHub mirror and downloaded a few src tarballs around
recent commits to tail.

Building tail from:

https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd/tree/97a2ca501c7e9f07a80339a88fbb5a46977ae428

does not manifest the bug.

However, tail built from:

https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd/tree/2fef72832029bcc228a527dd9c423ba34a7490e9

does.  IANAE, but it appears the bug may have crept in during:
