The next release of 'dftp' (v1.5) has been ready for several weeks now, but
wanted to run at least one full test on it before releasing it. I think I
finally got a full mirror of the system last night and am running the test
as I write this.
The bug you describe has been fixed. The first one, at least... I think
the second is just a symptom of the first.
