>Release:        FreeBSD 2.1.0-Development i386
>Environment:

	
	FreeBSD-2.0 SNAP950412

>Description:

	
	The "file" command displays only the least significant
	byte of a "belong" with the /etc/magic entry

	>16	belong	x	%d Hz

	Example:

% hexdump -e '"%07.7_ax  " 4/4 "%08X " "\n"' foo.snd | head
0000000  646E732E 80000000 00C0EA03 03000000
0000010  44AC0000 02000000 00000000 00000000
0000020  00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000

Note that the big-endian long at offset 16 is 0xac44, or 44100 Hz.

% file foo.snd
foo.snd: audio data: 16-bit linear PCM, stereo, 68 Hz

Note that 0x44 is 68 Hz.

>How-To-Repeat:

	

	Run "file" on a sound file and note the sampling rate.

	44.1Khz comes out as 68Hz
	11Khz comes out as 119Hz
	8Khz comes out as 64Hz

>Fix:
	
	
	Remove "(unsigned char)" cast from mprint() in softmagic.c.

	This fixes the long printing and doesn't appear to affect
	byte/char printing.
