Lets settle the ftpd issue once and for all.

Here are the headers from Bostics message announcing a fix for the
ftpd bug:

From: bostic@OKEEFFE.BERKELEY.EDU (Keith Bostic)
Subject: V1.65 (security problem in ftpd.)
Message-ID: <8810312317.AA14287@okeeffe.Berkeley.EDU>

Note that this was days BEFORE the first sign of the worm.

Therefore, clearly the worm had nothing to do with getting ftpd fixed.
