Description Bastien Nocera 2005-11-30 17:00:31 UTC 
ftp-0.17-22

1. Connect to an ftp site using ftp
2. Count the number of opened sockets using lsof
3. Try to "get" an inexistant file a good number of times
4. See the number of file descriptors increase compared to 2.

Patch attached.

Thanks for hints above.
ftp does not close socket descriptor in other cases too.
I hope to cover all.

NOTE: 'passive off' helps for issue above.
