  | I believe the parsing of Content-Range headers is broken in ftp.  This is 
affecting a few packages in pkgsrc.

I'm researching this issue.

It looks like the http server (Gatling/0.12) is incorrectly sending
a Content-Range response that wasn't requested (ftp didn't send a
Range header in the request since you didn't use -R).

It's also possible that the server has another bug in that it
sends Content-Range in a reponse that isn't 206.

I'm getting clarification from a member of the HTTP working group.
