I had a look at the source to grep to see how it determined which files were binary and it seemed fine so I dont offer a solution...just a complaint :-) Hopefully someone out there will no how to fix it. I guess I'll just have to avoid binary files prefaced by 32 prinatble characters :-) >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
