Assuming that the above command works, you should be able to do
% cksum ${(f)"$(<$INFILE)"}

Depending on your kernel this may be too long of a command line, you
can use zargs (or xargs) to work around that if needed, or if you're
on Linux you may be able to increase your stack size with ulimit -s,
eg
% ulimit -s 132768
(my default is 8192 which is not enough for the given example)
