The other Hitler quotes/references stay in the unoffensive file, as

My change, namely srandomdev() addition, was backed out even without
...
discussing with me, and I obviously disagree seeing that afterwards
(srandomdev() back out not fix any thing, it can only mask the problem).
So, back out the back out and return srandomdev().
People who have problems with repeated quotes should use -D fortune
option for debugging to see is the problem in (1) /dev/random initialization
or in (2) fortune code itself.
I will be glad to help, but I can't reproduce repeated quote situation
on my machine.
In either case found, (1) or (2) should be fixed instead of removing
srandomdev().

This should have already worked properly if random(4) has been

case. Instead, use the microsecond part of the current time as the
seed.
