Hi,

The following cat command just hangs and is not responsive to ctrl-C.
Is it a bug? Thanks.

$ help cat
cat: cat [-] [file ...]
    Display files.

    Read each FILE and display it on the standard output.   If any
    FILE is `-' or if no FILE argument is given, the standard input
    is read.
$ cat .

Peng
