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 < ret = startup(Role); < if (ret != SUCCESS) { < logent("startup", "FAILED"); --- > 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.
