Comment 2 Daniel Novotny 2009-04-29 10:29:57 UTC 
hello Sven,
Thanks for your bug report and patch.
I fixed this in rawhide and F10; due to F11 development
freeze, I'm unable to fix this in F11 now, will do
it as soon as possible.
Comment 3 Sven 2009-04-29 12:09:28 UTC 
Hello Daniel,

$ rpm -q file
file-4.26-5.fc10.i386
$ echo '1234Tue Mar 3 19:47:42 2009' |file -
/dev/stdin: ASCII text
$ file WillNotPrintOnTuesday.ps 
WillNotPrintOnTuesday.ps: PostScript document text conforming DSC level 3.0, Level 3

Thank you very much. Good luck for F11.
