Ah, I don't know that I'd apply this patch...
While it's certainly a good call what's happening, removing the checks
will break the dynamic nature of the extension maps, i.e. once you've
opened and closed a directory once, all files will have their types
set. The "stock" file extension code doesn't do this, instead it
leaves all Unix files with a server-side type and creator of TEXT/UNIX,
changing the information on the fly as the client asks for it. That
way, if you edit your extension map, all the files magically change
type. It's even the case that changing the name of an extension mapped
file changes it's type...
In any case, I think there must be a better fix.
