Bug with cat?

[Bob Havlin]

I have no filesize limits and yet commands like

dd if=/dev/zero of=tmpfile bs=1024 count=3000000

work fine.

but the following fails..

$ cat /dev/zero > tmpfile

[1]  + Filesize limit exceeded       cat /dev/zero > tmpfile 
(core dumped)

$ ls -l tmpfile
-rw-r--r--    1 bob      users    2147483647 Aug  8 17:12
