Subject: 24.0.50; File mode specification error: (error "Malformed -*- line")
Date: Mon, 11 Jul 2011 01:36:37 +0200
Hello!

I have configured GNU Emacs without direct JPEG and TIFF support.  
After launching it with -Q I execute in *scratch* buffer

	(imagemagick-register-types)

(nil is returned). When I view from dired file.tif, then only its  
bytes are displayed in a (Fundamental View) buffer. In *Messages* buffer

	File mode specification error: (error "Malformed -*- line")
	File local-variables error: (error "Malformed -*- line")

is recorded.

GCC is GCC 4.4.6, Mac OS X 10.5.8, PPC, big-endian.

 66+ 73+ 76+ 76+ 71+ 65+ 84+ 69+ 83 = 663

 and add 3 because he's Bill Gates the third.
