See, told you it was harder than it looked :)

I knew there was a gotcha here in the seemingly easy way to approach
this but just couldn't remember the details of why it fell apart.
There's a gotcha in running "tail -f" into some programs too--for
example, to pipe that into grep you need to change grep's buffering
mode.  I suspect the Perl program I suggested will look less like
overkill by the time you're done here.
