Meanwhile, I thought of something else you may want to include in the
distribution. I know that there are lots of bugs in uucp, and that it
would be impossible to list them all in a reasonable amount of space,
but news will not work at all on a 4.1bsd system unless this bug is
fixed. This bug is still in even the latest tape from Berkeley, and is
not traceable with a debugger because of other bugs in uucp. This bug
causes uucico to core-dump after transferring some small (~20) number
of files.
The fix is easy. In anlwrk.c, routine iswrk():

[uucp is fully of nasty bugs. watch net.bugs.uucp for them and
hopefully their fixes.]
