Although I've managed to avoid looking at uucp very deeply,
I believe that there is a third reason that uucp itself can deliver
files out of order.  Although the C. files are sorted, they are only
sorted in chunks-- i.e., only LLEN C. files in the uucp dir are read,
sorted, and processed at a time.   The 4.1bsd distribution version
had an LLEN of 20; for various reasons we upped it here to 50.  (anlwrk.c)
