Some versions of uucp exhibit this bug when uucico is started up in the
"prowl around for work" mode.  If a file transfer (say, of a D. file)
fails, uucico will go on to the next system that needs to be serviced,
but may keep one of the previous system's workfiles open, so the new system
may get files intended for the first system (e.g. an X. file).
honey-dan-ber detects this problem ("attempt made to use old workfile was thwarted").
