Description Geoffrey King 2004-09-22 09:11:52 UTC 
I use the fortune program as my signature generator for my newsreader (Pan) when I  post a message to usenet pan runs the following command:

/usr/bin/fortune -s zx-error bofh-excuses computers homer kernelcookies linuxcookie osfortune

On one occasion this has produced the following:

/* James M doesn't say fuck enough. */
        linux-2.4.3/net/core/netfilter.c

It is my understanding I should not see 'offensive' fortune cookies unless I specfically ask for them 




Reproducible: Sometimes
Steps to Reproduce:
1. run /usr/bin/fortune -s kernelcookies until the undesirable quote is displayed

Actual Results:  
With luck, the offending quote should appear.

Expected Results:  
Displayed a witty and unoffending message

Fixed in CVS.  Resync and remerge to get the cleaned up fortune file.
