NetKit ftp bug (yes offtopic, but who maintains it now?)

I can't find anybody maintaining a current NetKit like NetKit-0.09
(2 years old). There is a bug in ftp that I can demonstrate. It
can be easily fixed, but I don't know who maintains this stuff now.

# mv .netrc NETRC
# cp /dev/zero .netrc

Segmentation fault (core dumped)

The software presumes that no files will ever get corrupted. The bug
causes problems that destroy unrelated data so `gdb` was not very
helpful in discovering the cause.

Cheers,
Dick Johnson
