[patch omitted]

Thank you for your prompt action on the bug. Much appreciated.

I have just tested the patch with emacs 23.2 and as far as I can see the
blank buffer is still opened with incorrect passwords or typing C-g at
the password prompt.

Is it plausible to just signal a 'password-error?

BTW, both the magic file and find file functions seem overly complex to
me.
