I forgot to report this bug in version 1.02; not surprisingly, it
hasn't been fixed in 1.03.  Sorry.
Version 1.03, GCC compiled, on an HP300 running More/BSD.

If I do
bash$ (cat bigfile) | cat
I do not get any output until I kill the job.
It only appears if bigfile is a reasonably large file; presumably some
sort of buffering problem.  I can dig deeper if you are unable to
reproduce the bug.

Chet Ramey fixed this bug, and the fix will appear in bash-1.04.
