	I had the same problem. I would sometimes have upto 50 hosts ftp'ing
to a vax 11/785 running 4.2bsd. We had used the ftp librarys and created our
own ftp batch program. What I did to stop the hanging was to add timeout in
the MakeDataConnection() before trying to connect(2) to the host. I could easly
get 8-9 hosts hung unless I added this time-out. In order to do this you have to
have the ftp library source code.
