+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.
