xnx155b munges uucp system names

[Russ Kepler]

I just installed xnx155b and found, to my distaste, that SCO has
managed to attempt to limit all outgoing and incoming system names to
7 characters.  This really munged the news connections as news was
being queued up for system 12345678 when the incoming connection was
looking in directory 1234567.  I wish that it had just been left
alone...

Anyone else encounter this?  Am I alone in being all pissed off 'cause
I had to changes Systems, Permissions, half of /usr/lib/news, etc.?
