That's disturbingly fragile filetype heuristic TBH. Couldn't they use anything better?



The heuristic was _supposed_ to be checking for the full string "Tue Jan 22 14:32:44 MET 1991", but the bug was that the spaces weren't escaped in that string, and only "Tue" was checked for.

The proper heuristic seems odd but reasonable to me.
