What about the 'cat' you're using? What do you get if you create a small
file and cat that, eg.
% echo kitten > foo
% cat foo
% cat foo | wc -c
% wc -c foo
I can't find any documented environment variable that influence cat's
behaviour. Is there perhaps an alias or shell function making 'cat' be,
in fact, 'cat -v' or something?
Does the same happen with
% dd if=test.tar | tar tf -
(or 'tBf -' or, for that matter, 't')?
I'm not sure this has much to do with your original problem though.
Regards,
Holger
