No, you're the one who's wrong, the source is simply the source.  :-)

My only point was that you should make sure something is a certain way
before you offer advice for dealing with its *current* behavior since,
otherwise, that's just confusing to everyone.  Either way, I don't
think that *any* of the current sources, from libfetch to libftpio,
are currently doing anything "right" with FTP_PASSIVE_MODE and hence
this debate is also 100% academic for the time being. :-)
