It seems more likely that your mounted file
system does not respond to flush messages
in a timely manner. Cat won't exit until the
kernel has successfully flushed the read that
it started.

The read should be interrupted, of course. It's painful that it isn't.

When I hit the DEL key in a rio with a program, say cat, that is reading
from a mounted file system, it ignores the interrupt. How should it behave?
