Subject: [2.5.0 Quick Fix] Hanging FTP daemons
If the remote client is behind a firewall, the RFC931 conversation will
time out. When this occurred, the daemon would fail to close the socket in
a timely manne. Worse yet, if the control connection would later time out
(which it almost always does with a web browser on the remote end), the
daemon would hang forever; never timing out and closing down.
The fix for this problem is available from:
