On PHP 5.3.18
Keven will also trigger a text/x-asm mime type
Also, confirming the Charlotte issue

The problem still exists (PHP 5.3.19)
If i have csv file with names (e.g.) it is recognised as text/plan (that is
expected)
But when i have someone called 'charles' or 'charlotte' inside - my file is
recognised as text/x-c (obviously dues to word 'char')

This problem occurs with no comment at the start of the file, too.
Rather than giving up because "other programs using the same magic database are
resulting in the same file being detected as C source" it might be worth
putting in the extra few lines of code required to return the right mime type
on the basis of the file extension, if it exists. Worldwide, this would save a
lot of energy and frustration.
