Yes lots of applications end up that way nowadays.

I think we should follow netbsd and cast gftp to the flames...
There's Filezilla, which is much better as a gui ftp client and, above
all, is actively maintained.

my 2 cents,
David

We'll see about that. Kurt and I are working on that issue anyway, it is not 
specific to gftp; lots of apps end up crashing this way.

I know: bad coding habits. Unlocking a mutex that has never been
locked or that is locked by another thread. Linux, obviously, is quite
happy with these horrors :(

gftp hogs the whole cpu (pre-rthreads) when you are transferring a
huge bunch of files, doesn't respond, appears frozen I believe.
filezilla doesn't, it stays responsive and does the transfer. fz is
much better...

When I last compared gftp to filezilla, upto a year ago. Gftp was much
faster at transferring many files. It also has some options that were
missing from filezilla and opens up in a jiffy. I've been using it
happily literally every day, ever since.

If you mean by upstream. I certainly don't see it as a security problem
as it rides on the back of the awesome ssh and other programs in true
unix spirit.
