My own UUCP node is having some severe problems as well.  It started out
perfect and was running fine for days, then it began to give error messages
(in the logfile) and not transfer anything during sessions, and finally
it's just not transmitting or receiving (though it does connect succesfully).
All this happened very shortly after (but not right as) I switched to v1.06D
from 1.05... I too had a HD crash during a UUCP session as well, but I'm not
sure that was at all related.

For a while I was using a hybrid, the uucico and uuname of v1.05 and the rest
from 1.06 due to a warning from a friend, but neither a pure 1.06 nor (to date)
reversion to 1.05 has been successful.  I'm still trying a few more things 
(since it worked exactly once after my HD crash I'm going to re-restore it from
the backup floppies and see if I can get it running again) and I hope to get
it running again eventually.   BTW: I'm running a 3 meg, KS1.3 A-500 with
an A-590 and a super Agnus.
