B19: "tail" parameter faults


Just a quickie - I've noticed that (for example)

  tail -1 fred.txt harry.txt

fails, whereas

  tail --lines=1 fred.txt harry.txt

and

  tail -1 fred.txt

work fine.  I think it was OK in B18 - I don't recall having any
problems with it then.

Using B19.1, with bash as the shell.

Kev.
