We had this problem when talking to a Sun 100 (both of us using an
older UUCP).  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. . . .
