I tried doing binary mounts with the following results.

1.  cat now produces a file larger than the sum of the input file
sizes.

2.  bash gets confused reading .bashrc

3.  I don't know how to get binary while using explicit path notation.

So I'll go back to text mode mounts for now, and if necessary write a
cat that works.
