>Description:

	File(1) considers text with cyrillic characters as data.
	This definetly breaks apsfilter, and may be other things
	too.

>How-To-Repeat:

	mi@rtfm:/tmp (185) echo $LANG
	ru_SU.KOI8-R
	mi@rtfm:/tmp (186) cal > /tmp/t
	mi@rtfm:/tmp (187) file !$
	file /tmp/t
	/tmp/t: data
	mi@rtfm:/tmp (188) unsetenv LANG
	mi@rtfm:/tmp (189) cal > /tmp/t
	mi@rtfm:/tmp (190) file !$
	file /tmp/t
	/tmp/t: ASCII text

>Fix:
	
	Force apsfilter to treat the particular file as ASCII and/
	or fix the magic(5) file somehow (correct output should be
	like, say, "non-ASCII text", but how to destinguish it from
	data?).
