Package: file
Version: 4.12-1

When a text file has 'idat' occuring at chars 5 6 7 and 8 on the
first line it causes file to identify the file as 'Apple QuickTime image
(unoptimized)'.

$ echo '****idat*' > foo.txt; file foo.txt
foo.txt: Apple QuickTime image (unoptimized)

Occurs on all sarge boxes I have access to as well as on sid and ubuntu
5.04. For example a text file with 'Liquidate' as the first word will be
identified as Apple QuickTime image (unoptimized) and not ASCII text.
