This is a change (or bug) in 'file', not Cygwin.  I get the same thing as you
do with Cygwin's version on FC4.  If you think there is an issue here, you
should take it upstream.

Per, the upstream maintainer of 'file', it is a bug that can not be fixed by updating the magic files, a fix has been tested, but unfortunately it will require a new release of 'file'.


Good to know. Thanks.
