Hi, 
  @Felipe I've updated the patch, I made a simple reproducable magic file:
string
> A
> B

and I add it to the test file.(file command itself will leak when use this magic 
file).

@Laruence
the reason why I ask Christos Zoulas is you mentioned load multiple magic file 
may 
lead problem, then I asked him.

Anyway, the crash is a problem of finfo and the fprintf thing, maybe more need 
to be done.

libmagic is obviously support dir,  but PHP is not, I think you asked the wrong 
guy and wrong question.

what I mean is,  libmagic need a big operation, not just one and one little 
suture, before this, we can just be consistent with the doc said : 'no directory 
supproted" 

thanks

dir open. and I sent a Pull Request: https://github.com/php/php-src/pull/91

Thanks.

Reeze already has a patch which fixes this issue and several related memory leaks. Though I
can't find it anywhere now :/

then I think we can simply prevent directory parameter
