Symptoms:
	PHCO_28690:
	cat(1) doesn't report error if quota is exceeded on NFS.

Defect Description:
	PHCO_28690:
	On Network Filesystem (NFS) with quota restriction
	enabled, cat(1) doesn't report error if quota is
	exceeded.
	Steps to reproduce the problem:
	1) Mount NFS with quota restriction enabled for a user.
	2) Using cat(1) try writing data more than the available
	quota on the NFS.
	3) cat(1) doesn't write any data to the file specified &
	no error message is displayed on stderr and exit status not
	changed.

	$ cd /qckeck
	(qcheck is mount point for quota enabled NFS).
	$ cat /file1 > tfile
	(write contents of 'file1' to 'tfile' using cat(1)).
	$ echo $?
	0
	$ ls -l tfile
	-rw-rw-rw-   1 vts      ssgrp        0 Apr 10 02:26 tfile

	If the quota is exceeded, cat(1) doesn't write to the file.
	Moreover, no error message was displayed on stderr & the
	exit status was also not change.

	Resolution:
	Necessary file-descriptor is closed & a check is added. If
	the check fails, exit status is changed & error message is
	is written on stderr.

Enhancement:
	No
