Synopsis: file does not consider cyrillic text as text -- breaks apsfilter State-Changed-From-To: open-analyzed State-Changed-By: joerg State-Changed-When: Fri Nov 1 08:15:29 MET 1996 State-Changed-Why: Making file(1) considering the user's locale is most likely the wrong way to go. Anyway, it won't help at all in the case of a daemon since a daemon doesn't have a locale (there might be users of various different locales active on the same machine simultaneously). SysV's file(1) seems to do a much better job in identifying text files, so it's not out of question that we might find a better algorithm as well. I assume they take some line length into consideration.
