NetBSD roy.christtrek.org 5.0.1 NetBSD 5.0.1 (GENERIC) #0: Thu Jul 30 01:39:11 UTC 2009  builds@b8.netbsd.org:/home/builds/ab/netbsd-5-0-1-RELEASE/i386/200907292356Z-obj/home/builds/ab/netbsd-5-0-1-RELEASE/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/GENERIC i386
>Description:
Non-ASCII characters in fortune files are not handled very well when the terminal doesn't support them.
>How-To-Repeat:

>Fix:
Use terminfo to determine support for extended chars, and use a Lynx-like mapping to 7-bit ASCII when not supported.
