[net.bugs.uucp] UUCICO error PKCGET READ

jww@sdcsvax.UUCP (Joel West) (07/11/85)

I have a uucp (System V/BSD crossbreed) that has worked fine and reliably for
a year.

Now, all of a sudden, it's dying when talking to two different BSD sites.
it seems to die in the same place each time I retry those sites.

the last line is
ASSERT ERROR (uucico) pid:398 PKCGET READ (-1)

the last few lines are of the form:
	... 45
		37...662
	... 46
		377..672
	... 47
		377..602
	... 40
		377..612
	ASSERT ERROR

any ideas?  is there anything I can do to rejuvenate UUCP?  perhaps
a fresh can of spinach? :-)
