>Description:
mod_mime_magic uses open() without alarm protection.  It should use popen().

Look for aplog_error() lines followed by NOTREACHED -- there's at least one
in magic_process() which is wrong.  It is definately reached, aplog_error
doesn't abort anything.

What's a "BOINK" error?  A bit more informative would be good.

It should use the spawn functionality rather than fork()/exec() ... because
it has potential resource leaks as it is right now.
