Hi Anthony,
OpenBSD's file(1) implementation apparently sees this file
differently.
$ file -i nmh-1.7/test/mhbuild/nulls
nmh-1.7/test/mhbuild/nulls: application/x-not-regular-file
Can you tell from file(1)'s source if there's something that makes it
choose between application/x-not-regular-file and
application/octet-stream so nulls could be altered to fit, e.g. the
number of NULs?
x-not-regular-file was the default for unknown files. The file(1) author
and I decided to change it to octet-stream[1], so nmh tests all pass now.
