>Description:
/usr/games/fortune always returns the same fortune. It seems this started
after rebuilding and updating -current with gcc3. userland and kernel are in
sync. Observe:

fortune -o gives the same (obscene) fortune over and over again, as well. I
just looked, and the fortune files contain a lot more than one fortune, so
it can't be that they were mysteriously truncated to one fortune.
>How-To-Repeat:
build a new toolchain with USE_TOOLS_TOOLCHAIN=no to get a gcc3 toolchain,
build userland, build kernel, install both, reboot, run fortune (the problem
very well might have been present before the reboot after I installed
userland, but if it was I didn't notice - I only logged in once, to reboot
the system, and thus only got a fortune once.)
random() is not broken, nor is the code behind /dev/{u,}random. I have
tested all three, and they all function as they should.
