Hello again,

It seems that our FTP server has gone strange since we started using
'/etc/ftpaccess'.  After I activated ftpaccess, ftpd would screw up on
uploads.  What happens is that a user can PUT a file, but after the 'STOR'
operation finishes up, the connection closes.  According to the logs, the
daemon is quitting on signal 11 (Segmentation fault, I believe, SIGSEGV).

Does anyone have any ideas?  If you want to see it for yourself, ftp to
'ftp.leonardo.net' on port 1020 (I left port 21 running without ftpaccess
until I can debug this thing.)  Log in as anonymous, cd to '/incoming',
and try to upload more than one file.

Let me know if you have experienced this problem, and know of a possible
solution.

Thanks,
