Where exactly does the truncation occur? I know that our site, 'aimed',
and the upstream site 'ncrcan' (which is an NCR tower) both run hdb, and
both tend to do truncations in things like the filenames being passed back
and forth. But at the actual opening handshake of uucp (^PShere...), the
full name is present. Where else is it fouling up?

Much curious...
