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.

It may also be worth noting that the file was converted from an excel sheet to a text tab delimited
and charset was us-ascii

I've also had this issue, using ZF Zend_Validate_File_MimeType a text/plain file (according to
file -i /path/to/file.txt) is incorrectly identified as text/x-c in ubuntu 11.10
