Increased the length of time it takes before uuxqt decides that an old uuxqt lock is spurious; 4 hours is not always enough for us. Having two running at the same time produces inordinately slow response elsewhere, very slow execution of the uuxqt's themselves, and frequent locking clashes in onward transmission of news and mail. I intend to do some filesystem shuffling soon, which should greatly improve the performance of the news system and the network software.
