The 16 Megabyte
http://www.cerio.com.tw/download/driver/uw-202n-o/Cerio_UW-202N-O_v700.1601_MultiLanguage.exe
turns out to be a archive that one can use unrar(1) on.
However file(1) just says it is
Cerio_UW-202N-O_v700.1601_MultiLanguage.exe: PE32 executable for MS Windows
(GUI) Intel 80386 32-bit
If one didn't guess it was an unrar-able archive, one would have never
guessed and given up.

Given how file works (by looking at the first xx bytes), this is not
really possible, doing the same check for all exe files doesn't make
much sense, and the magic is not actually wrong, i'm therefore closing
the bug.
Regards,
Daniel
