ncftp3 and FreeBSD 4.9 Pre Release (via 4 stable)

[Lucas Holt]

I've been having problems with ncftp3 core dumping when issuing an ls 
command.  Two things have changed since the last time I tried to use 
it... one I setup a firewall with ipfw and two i upgraded to 4 stable.

I ran a buildkernel and buildworld today on the machine..  here's the 
uname output:

uname -a
FreeBSD ns2.foolishgames.net 4.9-PRERELEASE FreeBSD 4.9-PRERELEASE #3: 
Thu Sep 18 10:54:20 PDT 2003     
laffer1 at ns2.foolishgames.net:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/ns2  i386


Any ideas what could be the problem?  I tried disabling the firewall 
and it still core dumped.  I first noticed it on sendmail.org's ftp, 
and tried it on my own as well.  Looking at the core dump file, it 
complains about writing to a file, there is an error with a call to 
getline(), and a buffer overflow writing the history file.

Did anything change in the c libraries in 4.9 that could cause this?  I 
did tried uninstalling the part and recompiling it.
