Me too, but with a slight difference.  The maps in question were
successfully posted to comp.mail.maps BUT my automatic unshar script
in the news/sys file failed to work:

UUMAP:world,usa,na,comp.mail.maps::/usr/lib/news/uumap

If I run the script by hand using the failed .ina* files, it works
correctly.  The failing system is a Sun 3/2?? running Sun OS/4.0.
The same shell script and (source for) B news ( patchlevel 14 )
works on an IBM RT/PC with AIX 2.2.  Are other people with the
problem using Sun 4.0?  I'm pretty sure it worked ok with a prior
release ...
