   After setting up a uucp link with another Linux Taylor UUCP site (1525 cps
   both ways...wow!)

   I've been informed that after I call them there are stale lockfiles left in
   /usr/spool/uucp that have to be manually removed :-(

   Anybody seen this and/or have any ideas ?

Actually, it's something I've been noticing for the last few weeks -
probably since an upgrade to .99.7a or something like that. I can't
remember if I've recompiled uucp, etc. since I upgraded the shared
libraries to 4.3.3. One of these days...

However, the stale lock files don't seem to affect uucp calling out
again, only when I want to run kermit.
