I have been having an awful lot of problems with hung lines with 4.2bsd
uucp.  By hung, I mean a uucp process sitting blocking on a read from
the dialout line, but having removed the LCKfile for that line and
system (presumably after a timeout).  The offending processes must be
killed by hand.  I breifly looked at the code, but I didn't notice
anything too bad.  The stack frame at the hung point is often
main()/conn()/login()/expect()/read(), though sometimes
main()/imsg()/read().  Any quick fixes?
