Here's what I get:

uucp gvlv2  (9/6-19:36:46,20543,16) REMOTE REQUESTED (gvlv2!D.gvlv2B2hw2 --> lock60!D.gvlv2S2hw2 (news))
news gvlv2  (9/6-19:42:51,20543,17) IN SEND/SLAVE MODE (INPUT FAILURE)
news gvlv2  (9/6-19:42:52,20543,17) FAILED (conversation complete)

The transfer succeeds on the next poll. This happened to me several days
in a row.

I think I know, what's going on in my case, anyway, though. The failure occurs
almost exactly 1 hour after the batch transfer began. I have my uudemon set
to run once per hour, and I suspect that the current transfer is being
clobbered by the new one starting up. I think I have fixed this, by making
the uucico startup conditional on whether a lock file exists for the modem
port (LCK..ph1 in /usr/spool/uucp). Send me email if you want more info
on this.
