Thanks for posting the diffs, I've been wanting to upgrade my version
to the latest.  I have the 18.44 version and it tends to transpose 
characters from the input stream when the system is under relatively
heavy load (a couple of big compiles going in the background for 
example).  The interactive response is still quite good, it's just
that typing "hi, how are you" is likely to come out "hi, ohwa re yuo".

Also, don't try to format floppies while uucp is running. Guaranteed
to bring the uucico on your end to a screeching halt.  Sometimes the
format will finish before the other end times out, but then again,
sometimes not...
