The other day I was looking at the UUCP logs as kaos was sending news
to its neighbor blblbl, and I was quite impressed to notice that blblbl
started telling kaos that it had run out of disk space, and kaos didn't
insist on sending the whole message.

But then the damned thing deleted all the files that blblbl rejected because
there wasn't space.

I'm running SCO Xenix 2.1.3 here on kaos. Hope to be running something better
soon.
