Description Joseph Mallett 2001-08-23 10:50:01 UTC 
random(4) manpage has the expression "worst case" in it, yet it is written as "worse case". It is common for people to pronounce it this way, yet as far as I know, the expression is 'worst case' as in 'worse case scenario' and 'in the worst case'. A patch is attached.

Fix: Aphex% diff -u random.orig random.4
How-To-Repeat: man 4 random

This only affects RELENG_4.  I'll fix it after the freeze.
