According to MacGyver, this problem was fixed in the last CVS version.
(CVS access instruction is at www.proftpd.net)

Also, acording to the Proftpd mailing list, this denotates two different
problems.

1st.: FTP Client with problems

        When the use did that, the ftp client sent to proftpd a very, very
long blank string, which it should not.

2nd.: Proftpd problem

        Proftpd dropped the conection uppon receipt of this long blank
string, core dumping.

A good look at the ftp client used on this test is also a good idea.
