>Description:
On Thu Feb 17 18:06:37 2005 UTC, ru submitted a change (1.27) to fortune.c that implements a change to read a new on-disk format of the .dat files.  (http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/games/fortune/fortune/fortune.c)

This change renders old .dat files incompatible with version of fortune compiled after 2005-02-17.

Therefore, the supplied bible.dat file that is supplied with the port no longer works.

>How-To-Repeat:
% fortune /usr/local/share/games/fortune/bible
>Fix:
The interim fix is to re-compile the .dat file thusly:

# strfile -C bible

The long term fix is to change the Makefile so it generates the .dat file when the port is built.

Note to self: As the distfile is also used in the GNU/Linux realm, I can still supply the pre-compiled .dat file as it works on x86 arch.  Elegent fix would be to have RPM thingies work like the port, build the .dat upon installation.
