[ i'm not on -stable, but am on -current ]

Hi all,

I'm having trouble with ftp(1) in passive mode on 4-STABLE and 5-CURRENT:
FreeBSD 4.0-STABLE #0: Sat May 27 10:26:43 EDT 2000
FreeBSD 5.0-CURRENT #1: Fri May 26 04:52:03 EDT 2000

However, it works on some servers:

So it seems there's something quite broken in the code.  My suspect is
rev 1.25 of ftp.c and associated commits.
