We `cat` kwdelfile.c, but don't inspect or grab the contents in any way.
This looks like a remnant from a debug session. Similar to the previous
commit, one could argue that `cat`-ing the file verifies that it didn't
disappear somehow. But because the very next thing we do after `cat`-ing
the file is to `grep` in it, we can safely drop the call to `cat`.

The change does make sense, but makes me wonder why we need to
single this one out in a separate patch.  Doesn't this fall into the
same category of fixes done in 3/3?  Exactly the same rationale as
above applies to the first one in 3/3 on t0021---we can safely lose
the cat because the file is immediately grepped for a string, so
missing file will be caught as an error either way.

Puzzled...
