Our SCO Xenix system had the same bug. The problem is that uupick was
written as a shell script and all the public directories were owned
by uucp with no write permission for 'other'. I fixed the problem by
changing the permissions on all public directories to 777. There is still
a problem when new public directories are created, but I can fix those
as they come along. The real solution is to write a suid version of uupick
in 'C' or to fix whoever creates the default permissions and owners.
