1) Please wrap your lines at 70 characters so your mails may be easily read.

2) Doing the above commands with no error checking is a very bad idea.
If buildworld fails, you'll go on to install the partly-built world
(which will also fail at some point), leaving your system in an
inconsistent state.

This might not have caused your problems with cat, but it's
nonetheless a recipe for disaster.

Please do the following commands for me:

whereis cat
ls -l /bin/cat
file /bin/cat
