Here is the information on the file command:
$ file --version

magic file from /usr/share/misc/magic
$ rpm -qf /usr/bin/file
file-5.16-1.10.mga4
Thanks, jerry. The commit comments on https://github.com/file/file are
poor, but
git log -p FILE5_15..HEAD src/funcs.c
certainly shows changes that could be turning `binary' into
`application/octet-stream'.
commit 5d2da614ae412d9a9016629b39d00d09e3edc297
PR/328: Shane Carr: fix echo -ne "\012\013\014" | file -i -
which printed "binary" instead of "application/octet-stream"
commit bca3d66faad9a63e9c13d86541d0736d7ca8fb36
PR/294: Fix file [--special-files]|[--mime-encoding]
<one-byte-file>|<empty-file>
Ken, I guess pre-1.7 nmh's are bust in the same manner on jerry's
system, so 1.7 is no worse? Do we fudge around `binary'?
