Very strange... The new ncftp can't run in background any more? Or is there
some new switch that will cause it to read commands from stdin? (I don't run
potato here, so unfortunately can't check.)
You can also try to install ncftp2 (the older version), which
make-pseudo-image will use automagically instead of `regular' ncftp.
