Index: uucp/mailst.c 4.2BSD
Description:
When uucp sends mail to a user to indicate a problem, it sometimes
sends an empty message.
Repeat-By:
Get another site to execute 'uux yoursite!login'. Uuxqt will try
to send a message indicating that the uuxqt was denied. If your
uucp has the problem the remote site will receive and empty message.
Fix:
In mailst() a pipe is opened to the mail command and a status
message written to the pipe. Unfortunately, mailst() fails to
ensure that the message is terminated by a newline. The
following diff both corrects the problem and changes the format
of the mail to match the 4.3 uucp.
diff -c -r1.1 -r1.2
