- The banner isn't only long, it also doesn't conform to the FTP
- specification. The lines are terminated with LF instead of CRLF, and the
- connection is closed before the continuation lines end.
-
- The accvio is definitely considered a bug, but as it only occurs
- with FTP servers which grossly violate the FTP specification it will
- be fixed in MultiNet V3.2.
