Just make sure that your bad file (inode #12345) has no other links to it
(at least in the hierarchy headed by ".") otherwise, you will cat multiple
copies of the file together

% ls -li
total 2
12345 -rw-rw----   2 me       mygroup        5 May 23 19:00 bad_file
12345 -rw-rw----   2 me       mygroup        5 May 23 19:00 OK_file
% find . -inum 12345 -exec cat {} \; > goodfile
% ls -li
total 3
12345 -rw-rw----   2 me       mygroup        5 May 23 19:00 bad_file
12345 -rw-rw----   2 me       mygroup        5 May 23 19:00 OK_file
  734 -rw-rw----   1 me       mygroup       10 May 23 20:00 goodfile

This should show what I mean...
