 I tried the sample on a couple of platforms:
 
 /usr/bin/file(1)
 version 
 4.12   i386  6.1-RELEASE-p3  SIGSEGV
 4.12   i386  6.1-RELEASE-p9  SIGSEGV
 4.12   i386  6.0-RELEASE-p14 SIGSEGV
 4.12   amd64 6.1-RELEASE-p7  Windows Enhanced Metafile (EMF) ...
 4.12   amd64 FreeBSD 6.2-RC1 Windows Enhanced Metafile (EMF) ...
 4.12   amd64 6.1-RELEASE-p9  Windows Enhanced Metafile (EMF) ...
 
 (file-4.18 and 4.19 work fine on all platforms)
 
 I recommend to use file(1) from ports for amavisd-new
 and similar content filters that rely on an up-to-date
 and stable version of file(1). The last SEGV I heard of
 was on 4.16.
