Well I'm no uucp guru, but I've had it running here for quite some time
and never seen this. However....
I've just had a bit of a look through the source, and found the ixsspawn
routine.
It looks as though uuxqt can't spawn the process required to process the
outstanding request - rmail apparently. I'd suggest making sure that you
have a good rmail executable, and that the permissions are such that user
uucp can execute it. On my uucp box, running 2.2.6R, /bin/rmail is 555
bin:bin.
