In my case tail is working without exporting the above line I can do tail +3 <somefile.txt> or +10 <somefile.txt> goes without problem but trying to do sh linuxq3apoint-1.32b.x86.run halts with previous stated problem now I did export the _POSIX2_VERSION=199209 and sh linuxq3apoint-1.32b.x86.run went fine by the way what is this POSIX_VERSION is all about? This is the first time I have faced this. Thanks and good day
