I am not sure, maybe you are right, we will never the case. 
But I known this patch can avoid the case when probing a FS
fail with current magics.

Hi,
 
the description is wrong, this fixes a potential null pointer deref and
i dont really see how probing of a FS would work without a magic so we
probably wont ever hit this case ?
