More on the sysinstall hang; I can't tell if this is an FTP proxy bug
or a sysinstall bug, since I didn't get to snoop the control connection.
I see:

DEBUG: send <PORT 13,0,208,199,5,51>
DEBUG: received <200 ...>
DEBUG: send <RETR XF8632/X32html.tgz>
DEBUG: Switching back to VTY1

Note no "received <150 ...>".  When I tcpdump, I see window probes
going from the FTP server to the client, on port 1331 aka 5,51:

22:07:01.538273 beta.3126 > fenestro.1331: . 1196817521:1196817522(1) ack 1117785547 win 24576
22:07:01.538509 fenestro.1331 > beta.3126: . ack 1196817521 win 0 (DF)
22:08:01.541976 beta.3126 > fenestro.1331: . 1196817521:1196817522(1) ack 1117785547 win 24576
22:08:01.542215 fenestro.1331 > beta.3126: . ack 1196817521 win 0 (DF)

so it looks like sysinstall is hung waiting for the response to the
"RETR" and not reading any of the data that's arriving on the data
port.

I guess I'll start another sysinstall and "tcpdump -w" the FTP
control connection.  (But of course the next one probably won't
hang...)
