   BTW, this sounds very similar to a problem that Peter Wemm was having when
he had a news filesystem made with 4K blocks. I seem to recall that he changed
the filesystem to 8K blocks and the problem went away. It appears that there
is a bug in the FFS block allocation/free code that is tickled by 4K blocks.
   Are any of your filesystems built with a 4K blocksize?
   BTW, your UUCP software re-writes of the email headers into bang-path
format is very annoying.
