Boy this upgrade is turning into a real mess...

Has anybody out there got UUCP working under V4 Eunice?
Problems I'm fighting right now:

O  /usr/spool/uucp/LOGFILE gets trashed real bad.  Lots and lots of garbage
   characters (NULL's) and garbage lines in there.

O  has anybody gotten the uucp images (uucico, startuucp, etc.) to install
   with the proper privileges?  am i facing the dreaded "underscore in a
   device logical" problem here?

O  does anybody know if L.cmds works and how to use it?  it would be great
   if it does.  i've been sponging off a neighbor in the past for patched
   uuxqt executables.

Other problems I'm having but haven't dug into enough to see if it is
just some stupid mistake on my part:

O  cvtuaf gets very unhappy and gives up on clustered disks

O  etc:login is truncating the /etc/ttytype information stuffed into TERM

And a flame for good measure:

O  finger got broke in V4.  It has the same problems w and who had in the
   prior rev (e.g. a disorderly logout doesn't update the user databases).
   Too bad, finger was such a useful utility when it was reliable.

And for balance:

O  the new filename hashing is pretty trick.  ls /usr/spool/uucp takes a
   fraction of the time it used to.

Any suggestions, comments, or core dumps on my uucp problems would be
greatly appreciated.
