So we have some of the usual suspects in the usual quantities.  And the usual miscues (e.g. C++ source code) due to entries in the magic database that we should really address.

And we have some new funkiness with magic or file with the strange video MIME type and the "double" MS-Word MIME type.

A few types we see but not often:  WordPerfect, Access, and some shell scripts (purportedly).  Nice.

But nearly 400k HTML files?  Wow.  Double wow.

I'm not sure what that is, but it seems like something big.
