Description Tom Ward 2003-04-23 12:09:42 UTC 
If offensive quotes are enabled, the emerge of fortune-mod-9708 goes into an infinite 
loop attempting to rotate the offensive quotes. The problem is with the test in rot.c, 
which compares a char against EOF, and always returns true on this platform. 
 
powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu-gcc    -c -o rot.o rot.c 
rot.c: In function `main': 
rot.c:13: warning: comparison is always true due to limited range of data type 
powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu-gcc  -o rot rot.o 
 
Trivial fix: 
 
fortune-mod-9708/utils/rot.c:  
11c11 
<     char a, b; 
--- 
>     int a, b;
