bug in uux.c (v7 and P-E version)

In the Perkin-Elmer Edition VII uucp, uux.c has a bug:

	sprintf(stderr, ...
should be
	fprintf(stderr, ...

Otherwise it will dump core when invoked with an unknown flag
(which happened here due to an incorrect setting in the news sys file).

I don't know whether this goes back to v7 uucp or not, but it's quite possible.
