No, I don't have any CRT feature logical defined. To me the error
message indicates that the "magic file" is missing. In the distro I have
it is /usr/share/file/magic.mgc. Trying "file -m non-existing-file
x.bck" gives the very same error message. And if I use GNV find to find
a magic file, none of the expected names shows:
