Package: file
Version: 4.21-3
Followup-For: Bug #451524

The problem is exactly as you describe: the current magic reads the size
of the QEMU file as a 32-bit quantity. The author admits (in the
comments) that he doesn't know exactly how the size is stored.

The best I've been able to do is change it to print out the quantity
unsigned, but someone with a knowledge of the QEMU formats needs to
improve the magic.
