Oh my GAWD!!

I went thru and cleaned up my passwd file, and changed the UID/GIDs for 
my regular users.  I did not touch any systems users, just the staff
and guests.

Now uucico dumps core, with no messages, no log entry, no .Admin/Log entry,
no NOTHING!!

My login looks like:
Ulogin:1234134141412:66:8:Unix Copy:/var/spool/uucppublic:/usr/lib/uucp/uucico

Where:	66=Unique UID of this user   and   8=/etc/group:uucp

The files in /usr/spool/uucppublic are:

total 130
drwxrwsrwt  2 uucp     uucp          512 Apr  8 12:18 .
drwxr-sr-x 13 bin      bin           512 Mar 18 06:50 ..
-rw-r--r--  1 uucp     uucp            0 Feb  8  1990 .hushlogin
-r--------  1 uucp     uucp            0 Feb  8  1990 .rhosts
-rw-r--r--  1 Ulogin   uucp      8483248 Apr  8 12:18 core

This is nasty.  Anyone have any clever ideas?

(Oh, BTW, dbx says:

% dbx /usr/lib/uucp/uucico

warning: no symbols
program terminated by signal ABRT (abort)

And then I can only look at the assembly that barfed.  (Of course.))

Bewildered, /rr
