    Are the hosts that you are having problems with Berkeley 4.2
systems?  There is a problem with the Berkeley 4.2 FTP server code.
When the 4.2 server opens a data connection, it should performs several
internal steps to get the data connection set up, and then announce the
port number to the client.  In the distributed kernel, it actually
announces the data port before it performs the final step of setup.  If
this final step fails, a 425 error is returned.
