Right, I've been fearing that the "data->reqdata" approach would come back to
haunt us and I guess this sort of did. This is clearly a bad piece of code...

With the newly introduced handler concept, I figure it will be easier to call
the correct disconnect function for the existing context rather than to assume
that it is an FTP one.

You up to providing a patch? I'm not sure I'll get time to do anything about
this until after my trip to China (alas after october 21).
