When a new struct magic_set is created as the handle to the calling application
(in magic_open), the "file" char * is not NULLified.  This causes unexplained
segfaults in other apps that don't properly have their magic.mgc file created,
i.e. in app-arch/rpm-4.4.6-r3.  The file pointer is some random value, so when
file_magwarn tries to report a missing magic.mgc file, for example, it tries to
print ms->file, which is NULL, and the segfault occurs.
