A large user file transfer from UTCS failed last night because uucp and
its minions don't bother resetting the umask, which screwed up the
permissions of newly-created directories in /usr/spool/uucppublic.
This is not uucp's only problem with permissions inherited from its
invoker; someday I'll fix this properly. For the moment, uucp & co.
have been fixed to initialize their umasks to 0.
