does FPE toggle Debug level?

Uhm, it looks like vanilla 4.2BSD uucico does not toggle debugging
when it recieves SIGFPE.  Sorry!  It works in later versions.
On the other hand, it never was very useful.
If you are sure uucico is hung probably the best thing is to get a core
dump and run a debugger on the image to see what it was doing.
To get a core dump, try SIGIOT or SIGEMT.

To see if uucico is hung,
(a) if it is recieving a file see if a TM. file is growing.
(b) if it is sending a file, estimate the time needed and see if uucico
	has taken too long.
Also, an 'iostat 5' might help indicate uucico tty traffic.
