I'm running uc under 4.1c No problems once I got it up.
There was a problem in bringing it up. Uc gets file stats through
a function called `fstat', which can be found near the end of the
source. Fstat is also a library routine on 4.1c, and is called
by both printf and stat. Since the uc fstat calls stat, calling
printf leads to an infinite recursion. The first thing uc does
is print it's name out, so running it produces a short delay,
followed by dropping core due to stack overflow. I changed the
name of the routine from fstat to filestat, and everything worked
like a charm.
