Hello,

I noticed that FTP may not timeout under specific circumstances. If the
connection to the FTP server is established and the server does not send
response, Curl waits indefinitely. I tracked down the problem to the
ftp.c. I made some changes in Curl_GetFTPResponse to work around that.

Could Daniel please verify whether the above changes are correct?

Thanks
