UUCP failures in att universe

[Greg Hackney]

There is a bug in the OSx 4.1 uucp programs on the att side of the Pyramid
that causes occasional failures when trying to send files to it via
uucp and uuto.

Normally a file is received in a sub-directory of /usr/spool/uucppublic.
The uucico program builds the sub-directorys. The program fails the
first time the directory structure is built, but works on the 2nd try.

So, a lot of times the 1st file has to be sent twice, i.e.
uuto -p file1 tness7!mechjgh
uuto -p file1 tness7!mechjgh
uuto -p file2 tness7!mechjgh
uuto -p file3 tness7!mechjgh
uuto -p file4 tness7!mechjgh

This was reported to Pyramid RTOC, who says it is a known bug and is
on the list to be fixed. Soon I hope.
