From your report, it appears that your 'file' doesn't support p or r options. I can't find a version history which reports when such options were made available. I've not heard of the problem you report, so versions for the last couple of years at least would seem to be ok. In any event, it should not crash when the command fails in the way yours did. I've now added another test for that.
