TortoiseMerge recognising some file as binary?

Hello,

I'm proposing this as a bug since I didn't find any reason for TortoiseMerge to do that. This has been tested using TortoiseSVN 1.7.2 (Latest version)

Steps:
-Click on a file, do "Show Log"
-Click on 2 particular revisions, in my case revision 107720 and 107623 and do "Compare Revision"
-TortoiseMerge will open and show a message "The file C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Temp\chcon-rev107623.svn001.tmp.cpp is not a valid text file! Note that UTF32 files are treated as binary too."

This happend with some of the revision of this file, some not. I didn't find a pattern. This file is a valid text file. The file in the temp file is a normal ANSI c++ files.

More information:
-I tried the same steps using WinMerge plugin instead of TortoiseMerge (In visual studio 2010) and there is no problem, so it must be in TortoiseMerge.
-Strangely, the "Blame Revision" on the same 2 revisions works and it seems to use TortoiseMerge in the same way.
-Unified diff works too.

If you want any other information, just let me know. The only thing I can't provide is the code itself since it's confidential.

Thanks!
