Something is incorrect with this description. The FTP state machine is not
used while a file is transferring! It _is_ however run immediately before and
immediately after the file is transfered so the hang has to occur in one of
those places.

We might have fixed it. I can't see enough details to make me tell for sure.

I don't think the client code can do anything about it. If you provide more
details on when you see this / how to repeat it, we can make sure libcurl
behaves better.
