  I'm getting some rather weird `uucp request' message from my deamons:

From: uucp (Uucp Administrator)
Message-Id: <9003020445.AA20224@fts1.UUCP>
Subject: uucp requests

news atronx atronxN4bc6 (3/1-2:53:39,15372,0) REQUEST (fts1!D.fts13f77067 --> atronx!D.fts13f770N4bc6 (3/1-2:59:34,15372,1) REQUEST (fts1!D.atron4bc6ea1 --> atronx!X.atronxN4bc6 (news))
news atronx atronxN4bd5 (3/1-7:06:22,17442,26) REQUEST (fts1!D.fts13faa46b --> atronx!D.fts13faa46b d5 (3/1-7:07:13,17442,27) REQUEST (fts1!D.atron4bd546b --> atronx!X.atronxN4bd5 (news))

  I get these now and then, caused by different connections... It
would  appear that these are the result of one process writing to
the log file at the same time as another  process,  however,  the
two  processes  (15372  and  17442)  are  the  same.  The  number
following the process number (0 and 1, 26 and 27) is different. I
don't know what the last part means... [late addition: the number
is the request number in that session. It seems to start at 0 and 
continue up...]

  I can see why the log cleaner sees this stuff when it  analyses
the logfile, but I don't know why this should happen in the first
place. Upon further inspection since I wrote the last  paragraph,
it  appears  that the only reason that I am seeing these requests
is because they have a '/' following the  word  REQUEST,  and  so
match  the  pattern  'REQUEST.*/'  used  in  a  grep  command  in
uudemon.cleanup. There are a number of other entries that are munged
but that don't fit the pattern.

	We are running Interactive 386/ix which is SVR3.2 and has HDB. 
	Does this sound like a bug? :-)

I never liked staying in one place too long, but this is getting silly...
