Greeting-
     I have just found and curred a bug in uucico that slipped through testing.
Sorry guys!

     The problem has only happened for me with system names in the Systems file
longer than 6 characters.   If you try to originate a call to a system with
more than a 6 character name strange things may happen.  Most of the time
uucico trys to write to stdout instead of the desired port.  It leaves the
window frozen on exit.  I have made the fix and am awaiting Marks reply about
how to distribute it.

     The work around is to not put any systems in your Systems file with names
longer than 6 characters.


-Brett
