[net.bugs.uucp] Bugs in uux; additional info

(By the way this is 4.1BSD Unix.)

Regarding my previous bug in the command:

    uux '!cmd < system!/tmp/file'

The uucp log entry looks like this

    uucp system (6/5-21:18-14040) OK (startup)
    jerry system (6/5-21:18-14040) REQUEST (R /tmp/file D.systemRChOM jerry)
    jerry system (6/5-21:18-14040) ACCESS (DENIED)
    jerry system (6/5-21:18-14040) OK (conversation complete)

Later I received mail with the following error message:

    file /usr/spool/uucp/D.systemRChiM on oliveb
    access denied

The problem seems to be access to /usr/spool/uucp which does not have
public write access.  Shouldn't the above file be:

    /usr/spool/uucp/D./D.systemRChiM

so that it goes in the D. subdirectory?  Is this a case that the
subdirectory fix added to uucp didn't catch?
