I have been hearing of a problem with uuxqt in sites that use
compressed news. It seems that uuxqt at some sites will go ahead
and execute of the LCK file is old enough.
We have been creamed by this ourselves so I wrote the following
quickie to stop it.
do whatever you want with it.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <stat.h>
struct stat *st;
main ( num , args )
int num;
char *args[];
{
char env [512];
int iam;
strcpy ( env , "/usr/lib/uucp/UUXQT " );
for (iam=1;iam<num;iam++)
{
strcat ( env , args[iam] );
strcat ( env , " " );
}
if ( !stat ( "/usr/spool/uucp/LCK.XQT" ) ) exit (0);
else
{
system ( env );
unlink ( "/usr/spool/uucp/LCK.XQT" );
}
exit ( 0 );
}
