>Description:
mftp gets a Segmentation fault when trying to write to a 
directory that the user does not have write permissions
>How-To-Repeat:
as root create a directory, /usr/tmp/foo. The permissions will 
be 0755. As a user, not root, using mftp connect to any 
anonymous ftp site, say ftp.freebsd.org. in mftp change local 
directory to /usr/tmp/foo. Then attempt to get a file such 
as /pub/XFree86/3.3/README. This will cause mftp to terminate 
with a segmentation fault.
