In this case, no one replied. My solution: work around it by modifying
the uudemon.cleanup script until I can bring it up with Sun. For
some reason, I doubt Sun will do anything though, considering the
poor state of their uucp documentation (many errors) and the fact
that uucp should probably go the way of the dinosaur.
