What seemed to work was:

kill -9 all the ftpfs translators,
kill -9 the hostmuxer,
settrans -g /ftp.

(Somebody else can probably tell us the proper way to do it ;)

Now there should probably have been a (configurable) timeout built into
the ftpfs translators.  If they don't have such a timeout, they will
eventually eat all the VM space on a long running system.

At this time, though, I can't see that this would be a big cause for
concern, as there seems to be some memory leakages that would kill the
system long before stale ftpfs'es..
