Summary: FTP problem with persistent connections

Initial Comment:
When re-using a FTP connection, it is effectively
impossible to traverse backwards from a directory. The
problem it seems is that when you traverse forward in the
directory structure, the directories get stuck in a array
called "dirs[]" in the ftp structure of the connection. Every
time a new url is requested, cURL runs through this list
and perform a CWD on each of them.

I have patched around the problem by adding these lines
at the end of "ftp_perform()" function before it returns:

int i;
for (i=0; ftp->dirs[i]; i++) {
        ftp->dirs[i] = NULL;
}

This clears out the stored directory names, and I am now
able to traverse freely through the remote file system.
