Just giving a 0.1s time window between update and removal of the input file thus gives little chance for tailf to succeed. Similar between startup and append to file, make sure initial content is read before appending additional data by bumping the time. This should possibly be bumped much larger to make sure that the tailf process actually gets a chance to run at all in the given time window. Otherwise it might fail on really slow/overloaded machines. The drawback would then ofcourse be to increase the time it takes to run the testsuite.
