Hello,
unfortunately, I could not reproduce this on neither etch nor lenny,
nor in any current Debian release. Can you provide an example
with all 8-bit characters escaped to avoid any confusion due to
character conversion?
What I see here is:
$ printf 'GAB\xc3\x8a\x7Fs' | file - -b -i
text/plain; charset=ebcdic
Or, assuming input was supposed to be ISO-8859-1:
$ printf 'GAB\xc3\x7Fs' | file - -b -i
text/plain; charset=ebcdic
"EBCDIC" doesn't look sane either, but that's a different story.
