bulk_extractor -b banner not working

Related to a known issue (#308?) perhaps? If so, disregard.

Passing -b bannerfile not working as expected.

Platform: Slackware-15.0 Target File: multiple images Report.xml is available on request

$ bulk_extractor -V
    bulk_extractor 2.0.0

$ cat banner.txt
    Test Banner
    Line 2
    Line 3

 $ bulk_extractor -b banner.txt -o be_out fat_fs.raw
    ...
 
 $ cat be_out/email.txt
   # BANNER FILE NOT PROVIDED (-b option)
   # BULK_EXTRACTOR-Version: 2.0.0
   # Feature-Recorder: email
   # Filename: fat_fs.raw
   # Feature-File-Version: 1.1

Tried a number of combinations of scanners and different images, and all indicate BANNER FILE NOT PROVIDED.

Thanks. #308 indicates that a test is needed. Your issue indicates that if we have a test, it would fail. Do you want to try fixing this? It's not a hard fix.

I will certainly have a look, but I'm not a programmer.

This would be a great first project if you want to become a programmer.
