Yeah, I know about this one.  There was much wailing and gnashing of
teeth about it in the closing days of 2.1, and about 47 different
commits from me failed to fix it.  I'm suffering from a basic
architectural flaw stemming from a failure to really examine all the
ins and outs of `ftp media' before I settled on my generic media
abstraction, and the only real fix involves some re-engineering work
which I'm in the middle of right now.
