In the function expect.c, inside the while loop, there is an alarm() call made for MAXCHARTIME. This should be removed and instead, an alarm() call for MAXMSGTIME should be inserted just above the "while" and below the "signal()" call. The problem occurs when for some reason the connection goes bad, but the line does not hang up. The random noise will continue to generate characters often enough that the alarm is continually reset and never gets a chance to time out. UUCICO waits forever. Doug Kingston (...!duke!brl-bmd!dpk)
