 Could you describe the problem?   That is, why is this a problem;
what symptoms show up, etc...

 I've noticed in later versions of FreeBSD my uucp throughput has dropped;
and one version began moving bad characters.  I have yet to reproduce
the bad-character problem (I just get corrupted news feeds, about one
every two weeks.)
