 Observed in 6.99.24; see 48302 (closed as duplicate), which also
 contained this simple recipe for testing:
 
  : In one window, do:
  : nc -s 127.0.0.1 -l -p 10000
  :
  : In another, do:
  : # ftp -q 10 http://127.0.0.1:10000/foo
  : Requesting http://127.0.0.1:10000/foo
  :
  : That line stays, ftp(1) never quits, thought it should after 10s.
