I can add that the segmentation fault I observe
is happening at

   /* ftp/domacro.c: 112 */
   strcpy (cp2, argv[j + 2]);

The interpretation is that the book keeping of
`line', `line2', `cp1', and `cp2' is so mediocre
that a lost connection positions cp2 beyond its
allocated storage. I am right now working on an
analysis and an attempt at cleaning this mess.
