[AIX] Binary file warning for text file.

Hello guys,

We had to move from a DC to another, and we are now facing an "issue" with some text files.

Looks like that some of our log files are set as binary:

file TuxConnectorURA.20121012
TuxConnectorURA.20121012: data or International Language text


less TuxConnectorURA.20121012
"TuxConnectorURA.20121012" may be a binary file. See it anyway?

but I can see it normally after pressing "y"


My question is... is there a way to correct it? Will it causing any impact? (I'm afraid that non-log files are with such problem).


Thanks a lot!

ovs-parse-leaks(8)						Open vSwitch Manual						ovs-parse-leaks(8)

NAME
ovs-parse-leaks - parses OVS leak checker log files SYNOPSIS
ovs-parse-leaks [binary] < log DESCRIPTION
Many Open vSwitch daemons accept a --check-leaks option that writes information about memory allocation and deallocation to a log file. ovs-parse-leaks parses log files produced by this option and prints a summary of the results. The most interesting part of the output is a list of memory blocks that were allocated but not freed, which Open vSwitch developers can use to find and fix memory leaks. The log file must be supplied on standard input. The binary that produced the output should be supplied as the sole non-option argument. For best results, the binary should have debug symbols. OPTIONS
--help Prints a usage message and exits. BUGS
The output can be hard to interpret, especially for a daemon that does not exit in normal operation. Using ovs-appctl(8) to invoke the exit command that some Open vSwitch daemons support sometimes helps with this. ovs-parse-leaks usually incorrectly reports one or more ``bad frees of not-allocated address'' errors at the beginning of output. These reflect frees of data that were allocated before the leak checker was turned on during program initialization. Open vSwitch August 2010 ovs-parse-leaks(8)
