This is a partial sync against the DragonflyBSD sources, where a lot of
fixes from Free, Net and OpenBSD were merged previously. Only about 50%
of the changes originate from there, the rest was done by dougb and

Traditionally, grdc would obtain time through time(3) which in turn gets
only the second part of clock (CLOCK_SECOND), and sleep for 1 second after
each screen refresh.
This approach would have two problems. First, we are not guaranteed to
be waken up at the beginning of a whole second, which will typically
exhibit as a "lag" on second number. Second, because we sleep for whole
second, and the refresh process would take some time, the error would
accumulate from time to time, making the lag variable.
Make grdc(6) to use time(3) to get time only at the beginning, and sample
time in CLOCK_REALTIME_FAST granularity after refreshing, and use the
nanosecond part to caculate how much time we want to sleep.

s/man/Man/
Not every source I've seen capitalizes 'Man', but it seems
right. Uncapitalized 'man' would usually be preceded by
an 'a'. But I haven't seen any reference cite the orignal
source yet, so I can't say for sure.

1) Split too long source lines
2) Portable code should not assume that null pointer == all-bits-0,
so back out prev. calloc() change.
Submitted by: bde
1) Rename RANDOM_MAX to RANDOM_MAX_PLUS1 to not confuse with random()'s max
2) Use calloc() instead of zeroing fields explicitly
3) "too many lines" -> "too many delimiters" for err()
Test case:
random -f some_small_file 10000
(in most cases must be no output)
2) Prevent number of lines > RANDOM_MAX (overflow or nothing may be
choosed) with EFBIG err()
3) After line is found, terminate list loop for -U case too,
since nothing to do in the rest of the loop left.
used in randomize_fd.c.
Although the max value is the same currently, RAND_MAX is for rand(),
not for random().
So move RANDOM_MAX const to the common file now, make it UL and
use in randomize_fd.c too.
(in any case its old value was 1 less then must be, as noted in
the prev. commit)

with fortunes and fortunes2 2 years and 2 days ago. The fortunes2-o
file was brought in with the original import of the 4.4 Lite games
directory, but has always consisted in large part of fortunes
duplicated from other files.
The combined size of the two files is still only 631K, or less
than 1/3rd of the size of the fortunes file.
Combining them has the added benefit of making the fortunes from
fortunes2-o visibile to fortune(6)'s -m option.
This change should probably not be MFC'ed beyond RELENG_7.
of many duplicates, formatting/whitespace fixes, spelling fixes,
and a host of others. Note: No fortunes were intentionally removed
(other than duplicates) as part of this cleanup. In removing dupes
I tried to be generous in not removing similarly worded fortunes
that had even slightly different punch lines.
Duplicates were resolved as follows (in this order):
* + limerick -> limerick
* + fortunes-o.real -> fortunes-o.real
* + fortunes2-o -> fortunes2-o
* + zippy -> zippy
murphy + fortunes -> fortunes
In correcting spelling I've tried to leave colloquial variations
(especially British'isms) intact, as well as to not "correct"
errors that are part of the joke.
In fortunes and fortunes2-o I combined a couple of fortunes that
were adjacent to each other that seemed like they should have
originally been combined, and split a couple that seemed like they
should have originally been split.
Miscellaneous:
1. Fixed underlining
2. Capitalized proper names
3. Removed quotation marks from "freestanding" quotes for consistency
4. Added quotation marks to QOTD fortunes that needed them
5. Corrected or added many attributions
6. Removed apostrophes from trailing 's' that are plural, not possessive
7. Updated the path to fortune stuff included in some of the jokes
8. Updated several fortunes to their original version, and added attribution
9. Split up compound words that ispell tripped over
- When none of the directories in FORTUNE_PATH exist, abort instead
of using the default FORTDIR.
- Little stylify changes.
- Add documentation about the FORTUNE_PATH variable.
