This is also mentioned in the >release notes. The system-defined ULIMIT is set in /etc/conf/cf.d/stune and /etc/conf/cf.d/mtune. The default is 2Mbyte. Since uucico doesn't run suid root it cannot raise its ulimit. The solution should be (i didn't try this) to change the ULIMIT in the files mentioned above and then remake the kernel (/etc/conf/bin/idbuild). I have mine set to 50000 instead of the defualt 4096. Reboot after the kernel build. Paul. (debra@win.tue.nl)
