Summary: check whether matching of sys name done properly

This probably isn't the particular problem referred to, but
I just fixed a bug that caused mail addressed through "utcsrgv"
to go out (sometimes) via "utcs". utzoo!henry referred me to the fix; I'm
sure it's been over the net before. If you have an old uucp
(like v7), and talk to two sites with names identical up to
the first one's '\0', you need the fix.

It's in anlwrk.c, function gtwrk(). The line beginning if(!prefix should read:

		if (!prefix(pre, filename) || strlen(filename)-strlen(pre) != 5)
