To cause the error to occur do the following: cd /usr/ports/sysutils/file make install cd /usr/ports/sysutils/file/work/file-5.15/magic/Magdir LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 /usr/local/bin/file -d -m windows /usr/ports/sysutils/file/Makefile I tested all the magic files in the directory using: sh (for i in `ls` ; do echo "==== $i ====" ; LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 /usr/local/bin/file -d -m $i /usr/ports/sysutils/file/Makefile ; done) 2>&1 > ../fine.test The only one that failed was the 'windows' magic file. Which is bug 292 http://bugs.gw.com/view.php?id=292 I was able to resolve the bug in PR 183257. http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=183257 Could someone check that the regex is correct an commit it to the port and submit it upstream.
