Currently it was an undefined behavior (UB).
It passes wrong parameters to the fread function call (1 byte, 4 elements).
It should be 4 bytes and 1 element because the `magic` variable is a single 32-bits integer (4 bytes).
```
bytes_read = fread(pointer, number_of_bytes, number_of_elements, file);
```
On some machines the `fread()` call returned 0 with no error from the `ferror()` call with
correct and valid PCAP files.

* Windows Sniffer, and Microsoft Network Monitor) all have magic
* numbers that are unique in their first 4 bytes.
