Hm, this shouldn't happen per se, or to be more precise: this should
only happen if "ftp -4" would get an error (not necessarily the
same), too. According to the source, our ftp loops through all
available addresses, and has been that way since 1999.

If you have a connection problem on the IPv4 address, too, it will
loop to the next address, and the error you see in the end is the
one for the last try.

Watch with tcpdump for what it really does....
