Note that this will probably NOT work with  4.3 BSD or 4.2BSD uucicos.
There is a really stupid bug in both the 4.3 and 4.2 anlwrk routines
that make is ALWAYS read the entire directory even if it has already
found LLEN entries. (When the code was converted to use the "new" readdir()
routines, it wasn't quite done right).

I have already posted patches to fix this problem (It really shows
up when you have 6 or 7 thousand jobs queued up...). I can mail them
if you didn't save them.
