It was due to xmv() taking forever to move the completed 4M file to a different partition. The simple solution was to increase the timeouts to about 10 times the previous value. I thought the 4.2 UUCP was supposed to have compensation code for large files, though, so maybe that isn't it. But it wasn't clear from your message *which* uucico was timing out. Anyway, timeouts are fine for programs like UUCP, but I sometimes wonder where people come up with the actual values used. . . . -- In-Real-Life: Chris Torek, Univ of MD Comp Sci (301) 454-7690 UUCP: {seismo,allegra,brl-bmd}!umcp-cs!chris CSNet: chris@umcp-cs ARPA: chris@maryland
