[comp.mail.uucp] UUCP spool files colliding

dave@arnold.UUCP (Dave Arnold) (11/03/88)

Suppose three systems (a,b,c) are all running the same version of UUCP---
old System V.1 (single directory spool area).

System a is having a simultaneous conversation with system b and c.

System b and c both are at the same sequence number, and so will
generate the same D.XXXXXXXXXXXX file names to be put in system a's
spool area.

One file will get stepped on.  Or am I missing something?
