That seems unlikely to me, since this doesn't happen with any other of the
textutils. (I checked.) Strange. I don't know whether to suspect `bash' or
`cat' here; `bash' seems more likely. I can't rebuild `bash' to debug it (no
Windows 95), so I guess someone else will have to.

I don't have ftp, so I haven't checked, but I seem to remember hearing that
