Aborting cat or tail -f on output file kills process writing to the file

Hi,
In bash, I'm doing:
some_process >& output &
Then, repeatedly doing:
tail -f output
And aborting the operation eventually crashes some_process.
The problem seems to be general; it happens when using other processes, e.g.
the bash script:
while ((1)); do date; sleep 0.5; done
And cat-ing the output and aborting midway several times instead of tail -f.
Thanks,
Daniel.
