This is a different bug altogether.  If you do a "PASV" followed by
a quit, ftpd keeps haning in QUIT.  This is true for all ftpds
I know off.  I posted a workaround for wu-ftpd on the wu-ftpd
mailing list.

The fix is part of ftp.fwi.uva.nl:/pub/solaris/wu-ftpd.diff.gz

(for other systems youmay need to include <sys/time.h>)
