Doesn't happen with my ftpd:

	[Thunder] 8> telnet collatz ftp
	Trying 132.206.78.1 ...
	Connected to collatz.McRCIM.McGill.EDU.
	Escape character is '^]'.
	220-MouseMUF FTP server ready.
	220-This is an experimental FTP server.
	220-Please send problem reports to mouse@collatz.mcrcim.mcgill.edu.
	220-If you have trouble like:
	220-    ftp> ls -CF
	220-    200 Port 11.22.33.44/4321 OK.
	220-    150 Opening data connection for names "-CF"
	220-    226-"-CF": No such file or directory
	220-    226 Closing data connection.
	220-then see HELP LIST and HELP NLST for how to prevent them from
	220-quoting arguments beginning with - signs.  (You may need to type
	220-something like "quote help nlst".)
	220-This server can automatically (un)compress, g(un)zip, and btoa
	220 files, and tar directories.  See HELP EXT for details.

	230 Anonymous login OK.
	PASV
	227 PASV port is 132,206,78,1,16,117 (port 4213).
	QUIT
	221 Goodbye.
	Connection closed by foreign host.
	[Thunder] 9> 

...and a check on collatz showed that the process for that connection
had correctly disappeared.

So there. :-)
