Check /etc/passwd to make sure stasys has a valid account, a valid
directory, and a valid shell (/usr/lib/uucp/uucico). The login itself
was actually completed, it was the waiting for Shere= that died.

I say this because we had the exact same problem here a while back,
and it was something really obvious but took hours to figure out. Try
replacing uucico with /bin/sh and login.
