Some tools freeze and trigger other issues in the system. Tests, all in the machine #2: FAILED -> https://github.com/ActiveState/tail FAILED -> /usr/bin/tail of a Google docker image running debian wheezy PASSED -> /usr/bin/tail of a ubuntu 14.04 docker image PASSED -> /usr/bin/tail of the coreos release 494.5.0 Tests in machine #1 (same machine that is writing the file) all tests pass.
