cat: Fix immediate output of processed data
Introduced by commit 790892db, 2006-06-08 "Ensure that cat works ...". * NEWS: Mention the bugfix. * src/cat.c (cat): Fix the typo which stopped the writing of processed data before a blocking read() is done. * tests/misc/cat-buf: Add to ensure processed data is not buffered. * tests/Makefile.am: Reference the new test.
