Here is another case:

Minix uses four different magic numbers:

# Minix filesystems - Juan Cespedes
0x410 leshort 0x137f Minix filesystem
0x410 leshort 0x138f Minix filesystem, 30 char names
0x410 leshort 0x2468 Minix filesystem, version 2
0x410 leshort 0x2478 Minix filesystem, version 2, 30 char nam
es

Any of these four magic numbers will trigger the bug. So there is 1: 16384 chance to be affected be this bug after any reboot. This really needs to get some attention
