Package: file
Version: 4.20-5
Severity: normal

Hi,

file in unstable does not report anymore which binary produced a core 
file. This still worked in the version currently in etch:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp $ cat test.c
int main(){int *foo=0; *foo=1;}
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp $ rm -f core*; make test >/dev/null; ./test
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp $ file core
/tmp/core: ELF 32-bit LSB core file Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), SVR4-style
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp $ scp core etch-box:/tmp >/dev/null; ssh etch-box file 
/tmp/core
/tmp/core: ELF 32-bit LSB core file Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), SVR4-style, 
from 'test'

I tried using /usr/share/file/magic from etch, which did not make a
difference (except for some warnings, suppressed in the following):

[EMAIL PROTECTED] file -m /tmp/magic-etch /tmp/core 2>/dev/null
/tmp/core: ELF 32-bit LSB core file Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), SVR4-style


Regards,

Wolf
