[net.bugs.uucp] uux & spool directory

puder (09/12/82)

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,
