uucico hanging
We have been having a problem with a slave uucico
hanging and have identified one cause of this problem.
It turns out that there is no timeout provisions for
the protocol starting routine "startup".  The following
is a simple if not pretty patch to cico.c to provide
the timeout.
       309,311c309,315
               alarm(MAXMSGTIME);
       >       if (setjmp(Sjbuf))
       >               goto Failure;
       >       ret = startup(Role);
       >       alarm(0);
       >       if (ret != SUCCESS) {
       > Failure:      logent("startup", "FAILED");
I understand that there are other problems with uucico hanging
which this does not explain.
