I believe your problem is an old one with uucp. I think it is not
closing a file descriptor after it is done with it, so uuxqt
dies when it runs out of file descriptors.

Look at your source for uuxqt. At the end of the main program
(about line 230), it should look something like this:

	rmfiles:
		xfp = fopen(xfile, "r");
		ASSERT(xfp != NULL, "CAN'T OPEN %s", xfile);
		while (fgets(buf, BUFSIZ, xfp) != NULL) {
			if (buf[0] != X_RQDFILE)
				continue;
			sscanf(&buf[1], "%s", file);
			unlink(file);
		}
#ifdef	PURDUE_EE
		/* fix the hanging open fd! (dpk.bmd70@BRL 10-26-81) --aef */
		fclose(xfp);
#endif
		unlink(xfile);
	}

	if (stcico)
		xuucico("");
	cleanup(0);
}

If you dont have the fclose(xfp) line, thats your culprit.
