Subject: want fix for v7 UUCP bug affecting 2nd call from same uucico

I've seen various UUCP bugs on the net over the years, and have
installed most of the fixes in our v7-based sources.  Now I'm
running into a bug that utzoo!henry thinks he's heard of, but
which I can't trace and don't have a fix for.

Most of our uucico polling is done by explicit call to a
particular site (we have a shell script with lots of
uucico -r1 -sthis_or_that).  After all the polls, we place
a regular uucico -r1 to pick up anything for sites we don't
normally poll explicitly (long-distance sites, old names for
sites whose names have changed, etc.).  I see consistently
that the first call is placed correctly, but all subsequent
ones are not.  They fail in conn.c (in the direct() routine,
I believe). I can't see why this should happen. Anybody know?
