The following reply was made to PR bin/7203; it has been noted by GNATS.

This is a result of fetch(1) trying to be smart instead of generic, and will go away when I rewrite fetch(1) to use the fetch(3) library. BTW Jordan, still no feedback from you... should I go ahead and import libfetch into the tree? I'm halfway through rewriting the FTP bits, if I get my lazy arse in gear I might finish that this weekend; then I can start hacking away on fetch(1)...
