% ls -l /sys/devices/platform/dock.0/docked
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 4096 2009-01-29 10:49 /sys/devices/platform/dock.0/docked
% cat /sys/devices/platform/dock.0/docked
ñÞcat: write error: Bad address

strace of the cat shows:

open("/sys/devices/platform/dock.0/docked", O_RDONLY) = 3
fstat(3, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0444, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0
read(3, "\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0"..., 4096) = 1812586496

Under 2.6.29-rc2-mmotm0116, this would return either "0" or "1", not 4K
of nulls.
