Subject: Sloppy code doesn't run on a 68000
Index:	usr.bin/uucp 4.3BSD

Description:
	uucico and uuxqt don't run on a sun or anything else that 
	doesn't let you dereference null pointers.
	The number of jobs to process at a batch should be bigger to
	ensure that grading works as intended.
Repeat-By:
	run uucico on a sun
Fix:
	Apply the following patch.
