>Description:
	'tftpd' (when run without the -s flag) has an arbitrary limit (4)
	on the number of directories from which files can be transferred.

	This is a bug since no such limit is mentioned in the manual page,
	and since there's no reason why such a limit is necessary.

>How-To-Repeat:
	run tftpd specifying more than 4 directories.  For instance:

		tftpd /bin /mnt /etc /usr /tmp

	Note the "too many directories" error message in syslog.

>Fix:
	None provided.
