Well, checking /usr/share/misc/magic, a file that identifies as "Apple
Old Partition" has a "TS" at offset 0x200. Considering that PORTSDIR
occurs twice in the file, at a location that could well be offset 0x200,
I would say that it's entirely coincidence.
But maybe file(1) should try a little harder?
