This looks like a shell globbing error, not an MSDOSFS error. Note 1: cat does not exit with the error E2BIG. Note 2: This is not likely to be a VM problem, since directories can't be mmap'ed. Are you sure you didn't get bit by the vnode size change (see other postings today)? If you are using MSDOS as an LKM, recompile it if you recompiled your kernel.
