So then I am to assume that the output of 'cat' can be truncated by passing it
"bad" arrays. That is the only difference between the "reproducible" code you
show and mine. It is just a theory but say that the components array is not
dimmensioned for 4 elements. It seems a little strange if that is the case that
a reference error is not thrown and just the output of the cat call is affected.
