(tail_lines): Fix a potential (but very hard to exercise)
race condition bug.  The bug would be triggered when tailing a file
with file pointer not at beginning of file, and where the file was
truncated to have a length of less than the initial offset at just
the right moment (between the two lseek calls in this function).
