This might be something which was fixed long ago as an add-on patch to
the Taylor distribution, and which I added to our in-tree uucp a while=20
ago. Relevant cvs revisions:

Don't divide by zero when computing timeout values, else we SIGFPE when
sending "long" files over pipe links.
This fix closely follows the one suggested by <felix@subnet.sub.net> in
an email to Ian Lance Tailor years ago.

revision 1.5.8.1
date: 2001/05/03 21:24:56;  author: he;  state: Exp;  lines: +12 -6
Pull up revision 1.6 (requested by is):
  Avoid division by zero when computing timeouts for pipe connections.


Translated: 1.5.1 and 1.5.2 and in-tree -current should be ok. If you
see problems despite this, build debug versions of the programs and tell
us where it cores (and why), please.
