kdelibs/kio/kio/kmimemagic.cpp:2O10:
    /* Now, look whether the file consists of lines of
     * "reasonable" length. */

    for (i = 0; i < nbytes;) {
        cp = (unsigned char *) memchr(buf, '\n', nbytes - i);
        if (cp == NULL) {
            /* Don't fail if we hit the end of buffer. */
            if (i + TEXT_MAXLINELEN >= nbytes)
                break;
            else
                return 0;
        }
        if (cp - buf > TEXT_MAXLINELEN)
            return 0;
        i += (cp - buf + 1);
        buf = cp + 1;
    }

An here is THE BUG:
kdelibs/kio/kio/kmimemagic.cpp:1992:
#define TEXT_MAXLINELEN 300

Now, what's the solution? Is it good to define a maximum length?
Which one?
