Summary:                    cat does not exit with failure status if write fails
Description: 
If the cat command fails to write, it still returns a SUCCESS.

"cat hair > /dev/full" will not exit with an error.

glancing at the logic in copyfd.c, it looks like bb_full_fd_action() never
returns -1 ...

the other portions of busybox that actually check the return status of
these copy functions are:
cat
ftpgetput
tar
copy_file
print_file
