| 
| I side with Sheldon on this one.
| 
| Imagine being a clueless newbie who stumbles unto this error.  Are you
| going to answer messages in freebsd-questions about this?
| 
| Thanks for fixing it Sheldon, it got me by surprise the first time I
| encountered it as well.

Indeed one of the first things that initally drew me to UNIX was the silly
humour in it.

I wouldn't mind meeting somewhere in the middle like:

"Toto, we aren't in Kansas anymore! (Actual error message)".
