Summary: "cat" outputs duplicate CR

Initial Comment:
MSYS 1.0.11(0.46/3/2) 2009-01-29 00:39 i686 unknown; targ=MINGW32
cat (GNU coreutils) 5.97
Windows Server 2003 64-bit

When the text files a.txt and b.txt are concatenated (see attachment), MSYS' cat.exe outputs a duplicate CR after about 1000 bytes.  Both a.txt and b.txt have CRLF line endings.  Line lengths in these files seem to matter, you can't trigger the bug with any kind of text files.

See bug.cmd in the attachment for how I invoked cat.exe to trigger the bug.  The bug does NOT occur when cat.exe is invoked from MSYS' bash.exe.
