This chunk of ftp_readdir() caught my eye,

		} else if ((p = strchr(buf, ';'))) {
		    /* VMS/Multinet format */
		    if (p > buf+4 && !memcmp(p-4, ".DIR", 4)) {
			type = 'd';
			p -= 4;
		    } else {
			type = 'f';
		    }
		    *p = '\0';
		    name = buf;

Now, I admit to knowing absolutely nothing about VMS pathnames, so is it
possible that someone may want to specify an ftp path that includes a
semi-colon in their PATH directive?
