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.
