I tried doing binary mounts with the following results.
1. cat now produces a file larger than the sum of the input file
sizes.
2. bash gets confused reading .bashrc
3. I don't know how to get binary while using explicit path notation.
So I'll go back to text mode mounts for now, and if necessary write a
cat that works.
