- Norbert Frese filed bug report #1951588: "Problem with curlftpfs and

libcurl" (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1951588) which seems to be an

  http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2008-02/0108.html The FTP code didn't reset the
  user/password pointers properly even though there might've been a new
  struct/cconnection getting used.
