Snapshot 20050823 19:00:09 is hanging on Win98 (I've been noticing this for a
week or more of previous snapshots, now, but don't know when the bug was
introduced).  Oftentimes I get a Windows popup claiming that cat has performed
an illegal operation, at which point the system is low on memory and can't spawn
any more processes, so I am forced to reboot.  This idiom is part of the
coreutils configure script.

$ cat /proc/uptime
284.85 0.00
$ cat < /proc/uptime
# no response after 10 minutes, Ctrl-C and Ctrl-D do nothing
