>Description:
While Y2K brought much attention to testing whether date-handling is
correct or not, some things were unfortunately missed.  In this case
the problem was caused by failure to check an edge case, specifically
whether the fortunes included in base are Y2.01K-compliant.

>How-To-Repeat:
Either run 'fortune -o' until the erroneous fortune comes up, or do:

     % cd /usr/share/games/fortune
     % /usr/games/rot13 < fortunes-o | grep -4 APPOINTMENT

>Fix:
The enclosed patch will correct fortune for the near future but, like
most other 32-bit systems, a patch will be needed to function much beyond
2039.

No, this isn't a completely serious PR, but it's not without validity
given that December, 2009, is less than a year away.  The joke would
probably fail starting in January, 2010.

Marked low priority, non-critical for a reason.....  :-)
