Probably cat is doing 512 byte reads, and someone screwed up in the
/proc read routine for mpi/info? Use
dd bs=1024 /proc/mpi/info
to test.
BTW, I can't find any reference to mpi in 2.4.0-test1-ac21. If this
is not a standard part of the kernel, it's more likely to be wrong
(the proc stuff is a complete mess).
