This was a bug in my postinstall script that was uncovered by new functionality in setup. To avoid this problem either do not install lftp (either version since the bug exists in both versions). Or make sure to delete or move /etc/lftp.conf (if it exists) before attempting to install it. If not you will have to kill the sh.exe process that is running the sh.exe. This is best done through task manager on W2K or CTRL-ALT-DEL on Win98. This sh.exe process will fill up your hard drive otherwise. The lftp-2.6.8-1.tar.bz2 has been removed from cygwin.com and should dissappear from the mirrors soon. This is to alleviate this problem. Sorry for this inconvenience.
