The attribution appears to be correct according to
http://emporium.turnpike.net/C/cs/sagan.htm.  Others have apparently
attributed it to Carl Sagan.

but s/regex/regular expression/g for terminological consistency.

3f4b504568 flexlint rears its head as well as some style(9) fixes[1]. Fixed a
few bugs for a few corner cases and correctly handle the case where
read(2) is read()'ing from a non-file descriptor and could get fewer
bytes back than the buffer, but it isn't EOF[2].  random(6) extensively
tested and believed to be bug free (save performance for large files).

What is the standard for this, anyway? Ah, we get to choose. I see.

63f7eaa932 Factorize bignums using the Pollard Rho algorithm. The code comes
from NetBSD, altered to retain the FreeBSD -h feature and various
stylistic improvements and avoid regressions. In the absence of
OpenSSL (and therefore bignums) the old code is used.

3685096edb Remove the wargames(6) novelty [and not the fun kind]:
1) It never was very funny.
	2) It was a N line shell script where N is less than
	   X, where X is the number of lines of the Berkeley
	   copyright and license.
	3) I rewrote it in C with the intention of making it
	   more interactive, ala the movie, but never did.
	4) Because it really is possible for at least some
	   parts of a distribution to shrink between releases.

6bb1d8eec5 Rewrite wargames(6) in C. A program in C in the public domain is better than
a shell script with a big copyright.  Or maybe just a good way to spend an hour
