Targa files have no magic header, and cannot be reliably identified that way.
The TGA plugin tried to register some nonsense magic string which didn't work
anyway, and any attempt to load a TGA file without explicitly selecting the
load format will usually cause gimp to handle it as a group 3 fax or
something. (A correct TGA magic pattern *could* be constructed, but it would
be so generic that it would match a lot of other files as well.)
A reasonable solution is to match the file suffix against all formats that
do not have a magic pattern first, before any attempt to determine the file
type by the header.
I'm a newcomer to gimp development so I didn't know where to send the patch,
but it is short so I included it here.
