It seems to be in both /usr/bin and /bin on Solaris 9 (two copies, not a
link). My workstation runs Gentoo Linux, and I keep it pretty well
up-to-date. On investigating, I see that /usr/bin/cat is a symbolic link
to /bin/cat. This adds further evidence to suggest that there has been
some change/dispute/disagreement about where it lives.
