mime_magic gives 500 and no error_log on Microsoft .ANI cursor files

           Summary: mime_magic gives 500 and no error_log on Microsoft .ANI
                    cursor files
           Product: Apache httpd-1.3
           Version: 1.3.24

        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other

        ReportedBy: david-apachebug@infotrek.co.uk


When mod_mime_magic attempts to identify a Microsoft .ANI cursor file, it 
causes a 500 Internal Server Error. The access_log shows 500 for that request 
but nothing appears in the error_logs.

The command line 'file' utility successfully identifies the file as:
banana.ani: RIFF (little-endian) data, animated cursor

Disabling mod_mime_magic causes the file to be served just fine.

A file renamed to an .ANI extension will also be served just fine so long as 
it isn't really an ANI format cursor.

This has been present since at least Apache 1.3.17

You can download an ANI-format cursor from the URL above.
