The version of BSD 4.3 UUCP I have accessible appears to understand SN4 and
CN4 as "unable to open temporary file", and will not delete it. I've seen
several UUCP's understand *something* along this line with STST files
referring to "out of space" or some such.
You'll have to experiment with various types of UUCP.
On the other hand, the simplest is to time out or drop the line. That
will always work though isn't particularly elegant.
