Can you reproduce this when launching Carbon Emacs without  
customisation? In GNU Emacs 23.0.50, 23.0.60, 22.1.50, and Carbon  
Emacs from December edition I cannot find failures with TeX, LOG,  
Perl, AppleScript, and other file types with Mac line endings, i.e.  
CR or ^M. It fails for me with PFB font files – because some of them  
start with (legal) binary garbage before the characteristic

Interestingly the file programme does not fail to recognise both  
variants of PostScript font programmes ...
