A week or so ago mention was made that something (bad) happens when
/usr/spool/uucp gets lots of files in it. Was this just a veiled reference
to filling the filesystem, or a bug in {uucp,uucico,uux}? I ask because I
have noticed that when we receive a large batch of news, uux doesn't finish
executing all of the X.* files. It just goes away, leaving them there until
the next time uucico runs and notices them. Has this bug already been found
and fixed, or is this because of some {error,omission} I made in installing
uucp? (We have 4.1bsd, in case it matters).
Thanks,
Karl Puder
