For quite some time now I have been getting the message from uucp cores in /usr/spool/uucp, sure enough I go there and there is a core, I rm it and it comes back, I am not sure where the core is coming from what is causing it or etc... Someone out there have an idea they would like to share with me?

We have found an amazing feature of SCO-supplied HDB uucp: when uucico counts the transfer time for an empty file it dumps into core with "Division by zero". Enjoy! Generally I have no idea why it fails so often - I see it practically every day. Does anybody know is HDB sources available? If yes where can I obtain it to make it to work properly?

If you have SCO XENIX 2.3.2, then there is an upgrade available from them
"xnx(some number)", which is supposed to fix this. I am about to install
it, but know of one other site that did and they said it solved the
problem.

Yup. The release notes for SCO HDB uucps indicate that "uucico will normally dump core". This is normal. In fact, the default SCO installation includes a cron script that removes cores from /usr/spool/uucp. -- < Alan H.
