Summary: 

When faced with this problem I came up with a different solution.
If the first LLEN X. files did not yet have there D. files then
uuxqt gave up trying to do a sorted scan of the directory and tried
a linear scan instead.  That way it could skip the entries awaiting
the D. files.   Eventully uuclean would stomp on them.
