[Magic-dev] ~/.magic breaks UNIX 'file' command on OS X

That was my thought, too.  Will have to wait for the Jazz tapeout next
week, though.  The proper procedure would be to change ".magic" to
".magicrc", and to check for ".magic" if ".magicrc" can't be found.
If the change is not in the distribution in a couple of weeks, someone
please send me a reminder.
