This doesn't crash banner on OpenBSD,

FreeBSD 4.10R doesn't give a shit either.

and even if it did who cares?  What would anyone accomplish by
making
this setuid root?

  -bash-2.05b$ ls -al /usr/bin/banner
  -r-xr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  16136 May 25  2004 /usr/bin/banner

Good question.

"Surely the larger lesson learned from that day is that other men,
all
over the world, took inspiration not from the heroism of the
rescuers in
New York or the passengers flying over Pennsylvania, but from the
19
hijackers - the twisted brilliance of their scheme and their
willingness
to sacrifice their lives to make a political and, as they saw it,
religious statement."

Who died and made you list-nanny?

Oh, that's right no-fucking-one.

Your pathetic posts contribute nothing but noise to the list -- piss
