    Using IE5.5 on NT4 box:
    ftp://*//#./    Gives me the gopher effect
    
    as I'm running MS Visual C++, it says:
    Unhandled exception in IEXPLRER.EXE (MSIEFTP.DLL): OxCooooooo5: Access
    Violation
    
    on disassembler:
    error on:
    77F762E8 CC int 3
    7120B8DC 80 38 00 cmp byte ptr [eax], 0
