I use "ncftp" as my preferred FTP package, and find it does not work
with the Athena ftpd.  Apparently, the Athena ftpd core dumps when it
receives a request in the following format:

	LIST -d file

To reproduce:
	ftp <host>
	(login/cd wherever)
	quote LIST -d file
and watch the remote side close the connection.  You should also find a
coredump.

Cheers.
