Summary: libcurl hangs

Initial Comment:
I have a problem with libcurl hanging when I try to
get an FTP listing from a particular server. It
worked fine for quite a while with no problem and then
suddenly didn't work anymore. That makes me suspect
it is something with the server I am trying to contact
but take a look at the strange behavior below:

using command-line curl:
< 220 fm1 FTP server (Version wu-2.4(18) Mon Sep 21
16:00:35 CDT 1998) ready.
> USER fm006911
< 331 Password required for fm006911.

and goes on it's merry way...

using libcurl:
< 220 fm1 FTP server (Version wu-2.4(18) Mon Sep 21
16:00:35 CDT 1998) ready.
> USER fm006911

hangs... never responds

Here's the version of curl I'm using:
curl 7.9 (i586-pc-linux-gnu) libcurl 7.9 (OpenSSL
0.9.6a)

Operating system:
Linux priscilla.asc.com 2.2.19-6.2.7 #1 Thu Jun 14
07:23:17 EDT 2001 i586 unknown

Here's a stack trace when I stop the program in gdb
(url hidden for security):

Any ideas?
