>Description:
	If a user has /bin/csh as their shell and has word kill set
	to ^W, when using ftp(1), ^W actually does line kill.

	This is fairly annoying.
>How-To-Repeat:
	create a user who has /bin/csh with their shell and
	set work kill via 'stty werase ^W'.  Now ftp to any site
	('ftp -a ftp.netbsd.org').  Enter several garbage words on
	the line inside of ftp and try to erase oen or more with ^W
	and watch the whole line disappear just as if you hit ^U.
>Fix:
	Unknown; however ftp did not always behave this way; before ftp
	got "fat" (ie with all it's features such as -a and EST to
	completion), this problem did not exist.
