	I'm using gunzip to extract my news batches, since the site
I'm getting my feed from recently switched to 16 bit compression.
The problem is that my system is now crashing several time a day. :-(
It looks like the crashes happen when a uuxqt session is going full
swing during a uucico session. I can easily lock out multiple sessions
spawned from the same phone line, but I've got three dialup lines that
people are getting feeds from, so it's very common to have things
'doubled up' like this. Does anyone have a better way of keeping things
stable? Am I correct in assuming it's a gunzip problem? If it were just
a simple crash, it wouldn't be too bad, but it tends to leave the UUCP:
partition unvalidated, and it takes a *long* time to validate... (200M
runs about 85% full, with the oldest file at about 4 days old...)
