I've had this with a Windows Word document, unfortunately it also happened to
be the first file I tried to upload to a newly installed wiki.

In theory there's approximately a 1 in 65000 chance that the check will match
any 64k of binary data and would equally apply to any file type including
images.

Ideally the detection needs to be improved, failing that a clearer error
message to the user would help.
