>Description:
	At the ftp> prompt, my EOF character no longer exits.  ^D does
	- but my EOF character ain't ^D.  (gdb gets this right, for
	what that's worth, despite providing command-line editing.)
>How-To-Repeat:
	% stty eof \^Z
	% ftp nonexistent-host-name
	ftp: nonexistent-host-name: Unknown host
	ftp> 

	type ^Z and observe that nothing happens.
>Fix:
	It looks as though using -DSMALL when building ftp will rip out
	command-line editing (and nothing else, actually, despite the
	name).  I haven't tried this, but I assume it would then handle
	the EOF character correctly.  It looks as though libedit
	contains code (tty_bind_char()) to deal with this case, but it
	doesn't seem to be working (and it's broken anyway; for
	example, it assumes that one's EOF character should be bound to
	EM_DELETE_OR_LIST, which is nonsense - ^D should get the delete
	functionality, the list functionality should be separate, and
	both should be divorced from the EOF-character functionality).
