Dunno. Mine doesn't.

Well, maybe, if you call blowing away /usr/share/misc/magic a bug, rather  
than an accident. That would be one way to end up in a similar situation.  
I'm sure there are other ways for this to be screwed up, also.

I'm sure there is. But unless you expect someone to hack into your machine,  
and figure out what your problem is, the only one who can fix this would be  
you.
