[net.bugs.uucp] bug in uux.c

dave@lsuc.UUCP (David Sherman) (04/09/85)

In the Perkin-Elmer Edition VII uucp, uux.c has a bug:

	sprintf(stderr, ...
should be
	fprintf(stderr, ...

Otherwise it will dump core when invoked with an unknown flag
(which happened here due to an incorrect setting in the news sys file).

I don't know whether this goes back to v7 uucp or not, but it's quite possible.

checking all my various versions of uux.c, the only one that has
that bug is the one that was distributed with usenet a few years ago.
p-e chose the wrong porting base.
