It has to be related to 'cat' because the output of 'cat' is truncated. I am
just tyring to find out some possible reasons as to why it is truncated. I have
been unable to form an array like is in the test program. Do you think there is
something else that is gobbling up the output from cat that would make it
appear to be truncated?
