Hi Bob.

>> BUFPAGE_MAGIC 0xBADC0DEDDEADBABE >> LINUX_REBOOT_MAGIC1 0xFEE1DEAD >> MKCTL_MAGIC 0xDEADBABEBADC0DED >> SMB_DEBUG_MAGIC 0xFEEDDEAD >> SOLARIS_SOCKET_MAGIC 0xADDED >> STACK_MAGIC 0xDEADBEEF >> SUN_LABEL_MAGIC 0xDABE >> UNIXWARE_DISKMAGIC 0xCA5E600D
They're all genuine - and I don't smoke anything, not even chocolate cigarettes...
Also in that list are several whose hex version can be decoded as a valid date, and some of that group are famous...
Best wishes from Riley.
