[net.bugs.2bsd] duplicate uuxqts on news feeds

larry@extel.UUCP (07/22/85)

We have been having a problem with having too many copies of uuxqt
running when receiving several large (1mb.) news feeds.  More than
1 uuxqt is started all working on the same news source.  Eventually
all the process slots for uucp are used and the whole thing becomes
a big mess.  We suspect it is made worse by using uupoll on other
machines but can't be sure.

Any ideas?

Many thanks
