Description:
------------
finfo_buffer doesn't extract the correct mime for gifs in PHP 5.6
Seems working as expected with PHP 5.5 & PHP 5.4

Test script:
---------------
$buffer = file_get_contents('http://s30.postimg.org/t89w8ep3x/favicon.gif');
$finfo = finfo_open(FILEINFO_MIME_TYPE);
echo finfo_buffer($finfo, $buffer);

Expected result:
----------------
Should display "image/gif"

Actual result:
--------------
"application/octet-stream"

Btw something seems to go wrong at the byte 516 since:

echo finfo_buffer($finfo, substr($buffer, 0, 515)); // Display `'image/gif'` as expected
echo finfo_buffer($finfo, substr($buffer, 0, 516)); // Display `'application/octet-stream'`

This is a data error, looks like it's fixed in libmagic 5.18. So looking for a data fix ATM.

Thanks.
