Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: file

The attached file is mistakenly classified as a "PalmOS application".
This is apparently due to the string "appl" appearing at file position
60.

Proposed solution: give higher priority to the PostScript %! header
test, which is more fool proof than the PalmOS test. Changing the order
of the tests should solve the problem.
