Yes, it's likely to fix this, although it might not be necessary to replace that many occurrences.
Also, I don't know if "$(cat ..)" is as efficient as "$(< ..)". Does it use a subshell, or is it optimized?

Apart from that, I am still wondering why the error in vcs_info causes abortion of the precmd function?!
