The problem is that the ESIX ftp deamon will munch streams resouces when
talking to certain versions of ftp.  Sun OS 4.1 (I think) is the only
one that I'm sure causes the problem.  The only suggestion I can make
is to try a different computer/OS or get ESIX to fix the problem.

By the way ypig.stanford.edu (36.102.0.32) has been disconnected from the
net for about a week and will come back with a new IP number (36.103.?.?).
The name will still be ypig.stanford.edu, so If you use a nameserver, you
should not be affected.
