We gave that a shot too, made sure that all addresses on the machine were
reversed properly. It still happened.
I think it will remain a mystery, as after the last sup to -stable it
fixed itself. There are no changes mentioned in ftpd.c that mention the
problem, just a lot of strcpy/strncpy changes by "imp". Something he did
fixed it.
Thanks,
