Hmm.  So, it seems to be some local issue.

I didn't notice right away that ftp.netbsd.org was just dumping my connection.
This seems to be an issue with my connection to ftp.netbsd.org.  It looks like
our firewall might be choking on the ftpd output, since I can connect if I 
put a '-' in front of the password.
Everything is working ok after:
	setenv FTPANONPASS -gillham@vaultron.com

Sorry for wasted bandwidth. :-)
