Hello,
there are a few regressions I've noticed lately.
For a starter, commit
    commit c81335fad6cd38c745f3ce6a2f877a05718dee63

        PR/373: Initialize firstline properly so that multiple calls to match work.
When using against the file available at
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/file/+bug/1717991/+attachment/4952354/+files/test.jpg
(sha256 097ab7efa99c0189853270d702f3347b2ca23c5886dceb1e3217fb7ac0fd975b)
there is an additional "\012- " in the detection, as in
-test.jpg: JPEG image data, (...) Exif Standard: [TIFF image data, (...)
+test.jpg: JPEG image data, (...) Exif Standard: [\012- TIFF image data, (...)
This happens with some other samples as well. And no, I have no idea
what went wrong here.
