Still dumps.  As I said, probably a line length limitation, which cat
would have no effect on.  Perhaps you're running gawk?  Dave is doing
a good job with that.  Nawk (the version I have, anyway) complains
about "input record `...' too long".

Tsk, tsk.  Well, at least it checks.  Give it half credit.
