Details:

on slackware-10.2, file-4.17's libmagic is deployed without *.mgc binary
compiled databases and mldonkey at some point (not right away nor after some
download) fail to load the plain version of /etc/file/magic, but after
installing the same version of file(4.17) it succeeds loading
/usr/local/share/file/magic.mgc , the binary version.

I imagine it didn't segfault before because the memory corruption didn't go
far enough to cross the protection boundary, but even before this crach there
were severe instabilities, perhaps related.

note: the slackware version of /etc/file/magic have two entries more than the
official release (whole file attached):
