"Binary file (standard input) matches" problem

This is kind of obscure, but what's happening is that you've asked
Analog to read a log file that it doesn't understand how to parse.
It's trying to help you guess where the parsing errors are by showing
where the parser failed on each log file line.

In this case, it looks you have configured Analog to read you
error.log (or some other non-web log) file. If you change the LOGFILE
command to not include that source, you'll get rid of the problem.

One other thought. This error message is what grep will output when a
binary file that it is searching matches the search pattern. Are you
piping some content to grep that you are then piping to Analog? In
that case, check the input sources to the command.

I am new to using Analog and I'm having some issues. I installed the
program on a box running Red Hat 8.0. I installed Analog version 5.32.
When I try and start the program I get the following error in the
analog.err file.
analog: analog version 5.32/Unix
C: Binary file (standard input) matches
C: *
analog: analog version 5.32/Unix
C: Binary file (standard input) matches
C: *
analog: analog version 5.32/Unix
C: Binary file (standard input) matches
C: *
analog: analog version 5.32/Unix
C: Binary file (standard input) matches
C: *
Does anyone know what this error means? Obviously the program isn't
running because of this problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
