I had the same problem with the 2.0.2 distribution and ftp to a non-ISC
host.  Mainly to our PC's running NCSA_Telnet, and Excelan's FTP software.

I never had it between other systems, only when ftp'ing to the 386/ix
systems.  Interractive was very helpful and responded on the net once
with a suggestion, and then later via email requested some more info
on the problem.  Then no response or resolution from ISC.  I have just
learned to live with it.  People have to watch their FTP transfers here
and rerun it if something failed.

I was hoping that it was fixed in the 2.2 distribution.  (Oh, by the
way, I could not duplicate the problem between two ISC systems)
