Problem with libcURL resuming transfer after doing a directory listing...

Hi guys, I've been having some issues with libcURL... Here's the deal. I
first do a directory listing, and parse the listing... Secondly, in the
callback function that I'm parsing it in, if I come across a certain file, I
try to download it, but it freezes at CWD... Here's a log:

* About to connect() to rz.verisign-grs.com port 21
* Trying XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX... * connected
* Connected to xxx.xxx.xxx (XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX) port 21
< 220-**** Welcome to the XXX FTP Server ****
< 220-***
< 220-*** All sessions established with this server are monitored and
logged.
< 220-*** Disconnect now if you do not consent to having your actions
monitored
< 220-*** and logged.

* We have successfully logged in
> PWD
< 257 "/" is current directory.
* Entry path is '/'
* protocol connect phase DONE
* DO phase starts
> CWD directory
< 250 CWD command successful.
* Telling server to connect to ZZZ.ZZZ.ZZZ.ZZZ:17644

* DO-MORE phase starts
> TYPE A
< 200 Type set to A.
> LIST

* Connection accepted from server
* DO-MORE phase ends
!!! NOTE THIS IS WHERE THE DIRECTORY LISTING IS PARSED
!!! THE PARSING DETERMINES
!!! THAT IT NEEDS TO DOWNLOAD THE FILE
!!! SO IT DOES...
* Re-using existing connection! (#0) with host xxx.xxx.xxx
* Connected to xxx.xxx.xxx (XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX) port 21
* DO phase starts
> CWD /
!!! AND AT THIS POINT IT JUST FREEZES... I GET A TIMEOUT AT THIS POINT IF I
USE TIMEOUTS

---------------------------

Anyways, that's the problem... Here's what the code looks like that I'm
using:

curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "ftp://WWW:YYY@xxx.xxx.xxx/directory/");
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION, directory_parse);
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_FTPPORT, "-");
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, TRUE);
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_FTP_USE_EPRT, TRUE);

---------------------------
As a side note, even though I'm using CUROPT_FPT_USE_EPRT, it doesn't seem
to be working.

---------------------------

Here is some code from the function directory_parse:

curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL,
"ftp://WWW:YYY@xxx.xxx.xxx/directory/file.tar.gz");
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION, my_fwrite);
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_WRITEDATA, &ftpfile);
res = curl_easy_perform(curl2);
if (res == 0)
{
        bug("Successfully transferred file.tar.gz");
}
else
{
        bug("Problem: %s", curl_easy_strerror(res));
}

---------------------------
If I use a second cURL, it works just fine. (IE, if I initialize another
curl, call it curl2, and then use that in the directory_parse function).

Any thoughts? I can't figure out what's wrong! :)

I'm running this on a FreeBSD 5.3 machine:
5.3-RELEASE-p5 FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE-p5 #0: Tue Feb 22 19:28:41 PST 2005

I'm running libcurl 7.13.2. :)

Thanks in advance, folks!!!
