In the copy of version 3.51 that I received,
/usr/lib/ua/Namesys.form already has Flen = 8 as delivered from the
Gods at AT&T.  That doesn't seem to matter to uucp which blithely
still pipes up with Shere=impuls (instead of impulse) when uucp
from another system logs in.  It is true that the mail headers
gnerated (by mailx) have the full name, impulse, in them so UNAME
is getting set correctly.
