FreeBSD has it's own FTP daemon that is run out-of-box.  Unless you
installed wu-ftpds from ports, these wu-specific ftpd problems won't affect
you.  I also don't beleive the glob() that's in FreeBSD's libc is affected
by the same bug as glibc's globc(), so ftpd servers that use the underlying
glob() should also be ok.

For the record, I checked the glob("{") problem against BSD's stock server,
and ProFTPD, both running FreeBSD 4.4-STABLE, both handled the request
correctly.
