Thanks ... unfortunately, while I *thought* this was fixed, I must have
botched my testing.  After a new build with ~July 29th sources and
installation the problem is still present:

Wrong answers:

  $ file /usr/bin/file /usr/share/misc/magic /usr/share/misc/magic.mgc
  /usr/bin/file:             Symbian installation file, for NetBSD 4.0,
  dynamically linked (uses shared libs), not stripped
  /usr/share/misc/magic:     magic text file for file(1) cmd
  /usr/share/misc/magic.mgc: Infocom game data (Z-machine 241, Release
  1052 /

  # mv /usr/share/misc/magic.mgc /usr/share/misc/magic.mgc-bigendian
  # file -C -m /usr/share/misc/magic

  $ file /usr/share/misc/magic.mgc*
  /usr/share/misc/magic.mgc:           magic binary file for file(1) cmd
  (version 4) (little endian)
  /usr/share/misc/magic.mgc-bigendian: magic binary file for file(1) cmd
  (version 4) (big endian)

The 'mv' and 'file -C' are an easy workaround, at least.

Host and target platforms the same as when the PR was filed.

Can the PR be placed back in 'open' state, please?

Regards,

Giles
