Start with tests/by-util/test_tail.rs at line 2387 and run test_tail::test_follow_name_truncate4 repeatedly to reproduce the intermittent failure. Investigate why stderr contains "tail: file: file truncated" and make the test reliable; done means the test passes consistently without unexpected stderr.
