I use a pseudoshell for uucico logins called uucicotime :  it follows:
-------------------------cut here-------------

	#! /bin/sh
	#
	# Yes, I know the above probably won't help on a vanilla
	# S5 system, but it can't hurt, and on some S5 systems
	# it *will* work.
	#
	. /etc/TIMEZONE	# forcibly set TZ
	#
	# Get around Bourne shell bug, present in all vanilla
	# Bourne shells prior to the S5R3 one, that causes "$@"
	# to expand to "", rather than nothing, if there are no
	# arguments to the script.
	#
	if [ $# != 0 ]
	then
		exec /usr/lib/uucp/uucico "$@"
	else
		exec /usr/lib/uucp/uucico
	fi
----------------------------- cut here ------------------------
