Bug#408180: shared-mime-info: Doesn't seem like magic actually matches correctly

[randhol]

Package: shared-mime-info
Version: 0.19-2
Severity: normal


Hi

I tried to set up a rule to recognise Vim sessions:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<mime-info xmlns="http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/shared-mime-info">
   <mime-type type="text/x-vim-session">
     <comment>Vim session</comment>
     <comment xml:lang="nb">Vim sesjon</comment>
     <magic priority="100">
         <match value="SessionLoad" type="string" offset="5:15"/>
     </magic>
     <glob pattern="*.vim"/>
   </mime-type>
</mime-info>

Problem is that it doesn't seem like it matters at all what I put in the
match unless I remove the glob pattern. Is this a bug or feature?
