When something like this happens, it's almost always due to a race
condition.  In this case, it's probably that the read end of the pipe
has been closed or does not exist when cat tries to fstat it.  I've
spent quite a while looking for the race condition, but haven't found
it yet.

I can't reproduce this with bash-3.2.15 and Fedora Core 5 in a Parallels
VM, with the Home key bound to beginning-of-line.
