I had a problem at a site running DECUS UUCP.  I may not have
enough information for you to identify the problem.  If not,
I guess I'll have to wait for the problem to reoccur, but I
thought I'd post this on the chance it's a known problem.

Sometime Friday afternoon something went wrong with the UUCP
batch jobs.  [I'm not sure what.  I was a little too quick to
blow them away and resubmit them to get things running.]  Note,
these are the jobs that comprise DECUS UUCP, *not* PMDF's
channel programs.  Subsequent to that two different vn_xxxx
master batch jobs ran.  Both hung, I think at the point they
were trying to wake UUCP.

Before I killed the uucp batch jobs, I deleted the two vn_xxxx
jobs.  They were replaced by the next two on the queue which
also hung.  When I killed the uucp jobs everything freed up.

Sorry I didn't capture the various logs.  As I said above,
if the problem isn't easily identifyable from this description
I'll try to gather more information if it reoccurs.

Thanks
