It was neither sarcastic nor hostile. Rather, I was spelling things out so you could correct where I went wrong if I did. I'm not twisting your words or in any way angry at you or anyon. Rather, I'm trying to figure out what you were trying to communicate. I still have no clue, but I doubt it's that important, so I'm quitting.

Soooo, I think we are already in agreement that this is the correct and expected result.

No. It's the expected result from catfile, but that doesn't mean it's the result the OP expects or desires. I was just saying that "expected" is not the right word to use there because it's ambiguous. Just a nit.
