Here are the paths of some of the old articles that reached cbosgd
in the last few days:

As you can see, they all have ihnp4->drux3->drutx->hogpc in the path.
What appears to have happened is a logjam in UUCP somewhere in this
path burst loose after about 3 weeks.  I think the jam occurred in
Denver, but it might have been on ihnp4 or hogpc.  (Since these are
the only paths into and out of Denver, thought, it seems unlikely
that the jam wasn't there too.)
