Title: UUSQUISH 1.2
Article-I.D.: we13.349

Lou Salkind pointed out that 14-byte filenames may not get linked across
correctly in my uusquish program.  I have ensured that sizeof(dir.d_name)
bytes are now null-terminated and I have cancelled and re-posted the
source as UUSQUISH 1.2.

This bug does not manifest itself on our 11/70s' because of the arrangement
of consecutive directory structures in memory.  In this case, the dir.d_ino
of the following dir struct almost always starts with a zero-byte, effectively
null terminating the previous dir.d_name.  I have reprimanded myself severely
for "posting a bug", and extend my thanx to Lou for bringing it to my
attention so quickly.

You know, we could start a net.phu for "Program Hostile User" group.  People
participating could rip apart submitted code and suggest enhancements
or point out errors.  This could produce some real nice code!

This is my last official act for this year, so Merry Christmas all.
