I tried to launch a .dat file.
When I executed the command fortune ./file/path I get this response:

delphine@delphine-laptop:~$ fortune ./femmes-celebres
./femmes-celebres: No such file or directory
./femmes-celebres: No such file or directory

As you see, although it states that there is "No such file or directory", the desired quotations appear right after.

Heya,

I've looked at your bug 308602 and and looked around in the code. In the
source, a comment explicitly speaks about forbidding files which start
with a "." (the comment describing is_fortfile in fortune.c). This seems
to be a feature, not a bug, though I can't say why :-)
