The message I saw about this was, I think, on FIDO, and it mentioned problems
using Mark's UUCP to talk to a 386 and a VAX.  My guess--and it's only a guess,
of course--is, considering that VAXen and 386s both have the bizarro
leastsignificant-byte-first byte ordering, that there's some part of the
protocol that contains byte-ordering-dependent values that aren't getting
byte-swapped before use.  I haven't looked in the (very large!) uucp.ar to see
whether there is any indication of that's being the problem, though.
