Evidently SunOS4.0 and later versions of file(1) have a bunch of "well
known" magic numbers built in as magic numbers in the code. In particular,
the numbers for sparc executables don't seem to exist in /etc/magic.

Does anyone have a list of the missing numbers?  Please reply by mail.
I'll summarise if that appears to be useful.
