GetText::MOFile::InvalidFormat: Unknown signature "\xDE\x12\x04\x95"

In mofile.rb, MAGIC_LITTLE/BIG_ENDIAN is declared as a string, UTF-8 on my system, yet the .mo is opened as a binary, i.e: ASCII-8BIT, so the magic check in load_from_stream() fails.

Since the file encoding is correct, shouldn't we use force_encoding("ASCII-8BIT") on the MAGIC strings?

Apologies if I've missed something obvious but this encoding stuff is a PITA.

I have the same issue and as far as I understand it, force_encoding seems like a viable solution for this.
