Hello,

After the reinstall to 7.3 I've made progress!   UUCP no longer gives quota
exceeded errors...it just gives a message about it having aborted.
Nothing else is in the debug logs.

Enable image accounting and see what is left in there after UUCP aborts.


Doing so now.   Should have an answer in 9 minutes.



CC, Pascal, COBOL, and FORTRAN also
seem to be in DCLTABLES for awhile...but after I log out they're no longer
listed. WTF?

How are you "listing" CC, Pascal and Fortran verbs in DCLTABLES?   Where
is DCLTABLES.EXE on your system?   It should reside in SYS$COMMON[SYSLIB].


I may be mistaken as to if it's getting shoved in to DCLTABLES...as running the startup script isn't defining any symbols for CC or similar, I assume they were being tossed in to DCLTABLES.



I've run their requisite startup scripts!   How the hell did
I break DCLTABLES?

What makes you think that you did?

The error seems impossible to happen spontaneously.



(I've increased the page table limits in case they
were getting full.   I'm also getting no debug info related to this,
either)

At least the quota issues disappeared. ;)

Let's assume you have no need for your prior accounting information...

$ SET ACCOUNTING/NEW_FILE/ENABLE=IMAGE

Execute the UUCP command(s) which fail.

$ ACCOUNTING/SINCE=TODAY

Post that output and let's see if there's anything revealing in there.

Also, you can $ SET ACCOUNTING/DISABLE=IMAGE because /ENABLE=IMAGE can
become a resource hog.



Doing so now.
