tail +123 or tail -n +123?

Hello all,


since I've installed FC5 (was using FC3 before), many self-installer scripts
fail to install because of tail. They use `tail +123` but the tail version
that comes w/ FC5 only accepts `tail -n +123`. Is that a change in tail's
command-line or a bug in this version? I work around this issue by editing the
scripts and inserting a -n, but would like to know what's the problem here.
Any one?

FYI: tail (GNU coreutils) 5.93


Regards,
