search/400 indicates to the parser that it should start looking for
the pattern after 400 bytes.

I am willing to mark this bug as wontfix because mime_magic is
deprecated (and has been for some time) and fileinfo (only available
at pecl.php.net; not yet packaged for Debian) doesn't suffer from this
kind of bugs because it makes use of libmagic, which is what the file
command uses.
