I've looked at the source for umass.c, but without knowing what it is doing,
and how it is supposed to do it, just looking at the source tells me
nothing.  Yes, I can see where it generates the messages, but so what?

Generally, if a software module is well documented, the internal
documentation for the module (and _just_ the internal stuff, not counting
external documentation) will be as long or longer than the source code (the
smaller the module, the greater the margin by which the documentation will
exceed the code in volume).

Without any documentation, I have no way of pursuing that.
