In recently upgrading our lone DN4500 from SR10.1 to SR10.3 I have
encountered several annoying problems.  Has anyone else seen these
(or better yet, have a fix :-)?


1. uucp only works with a debug level of 4 or greater.  Anything
   else causes the line to be hungup within milliseconds of going
   off hook and a "LOST LINE" entry to be put in the status.
   Changing baud rates doesnt help.  The modem is a T2500.  Things
   worked perfectly at SR10.1 with the exact same configuration
   files.

2. The alias "alias ltm ls -alt|m" randomly works.  At other times
   all I get is "Killed" with a traceback that terminates with a 
   call to (I'll have to paraphrase here, I didnt write down the
   exact tb output) ec_$wait_forio.

3. On occasion uustat will simply give a segmentation fault, then
   a minute or so later will work fine.

As for environment, I involed the disk to defrag it using the 
re-initialize existing volume option (#3 ?) before loading
SR10.3.  SR10.1 was NOT installed using hard links but SR10.3
was installed using hard links.  Any thoughts would be appreciated.
