Firstly, the abuse of 'cat' as I suggested is quite wonky, indeed.

I just wanted to say quickly that I'd recommend *not* ever taking '.' into your path - when someone wants you to execute something and places it into a directory where both have write rights and names it like the binary you're supposed to call, it's going to get executed first.
