I didn't ask you, but what the heck.

If you want to fix it, and contribute the fix to the greater amiga
community, please do so. Make sure that your fix is efficient and
works with all of UUCP and I-Net 225 and the FD Inetutils, too. Thanks.

uucp:src/include/config.h:#define MAXFILES  1000 /* Max # of files in any news or spool directory */
