 Since it is a non standard named file, I will open it in FileInsight
 and examine the binary.  If I don't recognize its format, I'll run the
 TrID plug-in and detrrmine its format.  I will treat the file
 accordingly.

Unless you use eg. msys

I was explaining the vulnerability. If you feel you're safe, you can go
with the
option. We assume you'll be careful enough not to shoot yourself in the
foot.

I have cleaned it a bit and applied with the commit:
gscriv...@gnu.org-20120413215846-h0ebcgpgj1p0q9th

this patch is incomplete and in any case the patch proposed by Gijs[1]
covers the possibility to match against the query string too.

Cheers,
Giuseppe
