The patterns used were OK for the output of "file -NF$'\t'": it would put a space after the separator (the default separator being ":"). But not for the output of "file -b": we need to pad the result with a space to use the same patterns. Putting a space at the beggining is convenient, because it allows to match independently for "* sh" or "* bash", otherwise "*sh" would consume "bash", too. Other uses of "file -b" in scripts/ don't suffer from this problem.
