If 'cat' is run with a big enough file, say /dev/sda, the terminal gets
corrupted. This corruption may also extend beyond the terminal.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Run '/bin/cat /dev/sda'.
2. Wait from 2 to 3 minutes.
3. Ctrl-C to exit.
4. Observe corrupted terminal
This was tested on gnome-terminal in Ubuntu 16.04. It may or may not happen
in other terminals / flavors, and it may produce different errors too.
