This entry:

0       string          =!!             Bennet Yee's "face" format

causes file to misidentify any file starting with !! as 'Bennet Yee's "face"
format'.  !! at the beginning of a file can easily happen with any file format
that uses ! as a comment character, such as ~/.Xresources or ~/.xdvirc ; the
default ~/.xdvirc written by xdvi has a long descriptive header at the top
with !!! at the beginning of each line.

$ file .xdvirc
..xdvirc: Bennet Yee's "face" format

Please make this magic more specific or disable it.

Thanks,
Josh Triplett
