I've found the ftp access in MacOS X to be the most dangerous feature.
Several times I have tried to use it and hung the machine.  I'm not
talking about a hang where a force-quit will fix it.  I'm talking a major
hangup that prevents processes from starting and ssh to stop working.

The _most_ unstable part appears to be the ability to use URLs of the
form:
	ftp://user@host/dir/file.

Last time I tried that, I crashed my MacOS X machine.
