timeout: treat seconds counts like 'sleep' does
Treat fractions as a request to round up to the next representable
value, and treat out-of-range values as maximal ones. This is
consistent with how "sleep" works. And this way, "timeout
999999999999999999d FOO" and "timeout 4.5 foo" are more likely to
do what the user wants.

up to the next integer value.

by redirecting FD 9 to stderr (via "exec 9>&2") before invoking the
shell script. Shell scripts write skip-explanation to FD 9 via
init.sh's skip_ function. However, with ksh and HP-UX's /bin/sh,

tail: fix an inconsequential bug spotted by coverity
* src/tail.c (start_bytes): Increase *READ_POS (not READ_POS)
by the number of bytes read. This is a real bug that happens
to have no consequence in practice. First, this code is exercised
only when tailing-forever a non-regular file by bytes, and with a
start-relative offset, e.g., "mkfifo f; tail -f -c +3 f", but even
then, the invalid READ_POS value does not influence how tail works.
It is stored in the File_spec.size member, but that member is not
used at all in tail_forever_inotify, and in tail_forever, it is
used only when the File_spec refers to a regular file.
