Hey ... has anyone else noticed problems running 'cat' on large files
while using 'csh' as your shell? We were seeing the beginning and end
of the files, but large sections of the middle(s) would drop out - and
not in the same areas on repeat attempts.
I don't believe it's tied to terminal buffering - the same effect is
seen when piping the 'cat' output to a printer, etc. We've kludged
around the problem by putting a 'cat' ksh script higher in the path -
it starts 'ksh', runs the normal 'cat' with the filenames as params
and dumps the output to stdout.
This is using v3.2 on an Alpha 2000/300 ...
