Summary: Active FTP hangs if bind fails with

Initial Comment:
In function ftp_state_use_port, address/port for data connection is bound with bind system call.

If bind fails with error EADDRNOTAVAIL, it fails forever and the running thread hangs there.

One expects to get a "PORT command failed" result after a few tries or trying all ports in the range and fail afterwards. Currently port is set to port_min and loop continues.

Is there a good reason to set the port to port_min and continue?

Running official curl 7.22.0 on a linux box.

My first suggestion was a bit too simple though and broke for example test
case 116. Try this slightly different approach and see if it still makes
your original bug report case work.

I agree with you that those two lines look like an error to me.

Does it work for you if you remove these two lines?

        port = port_min;
        continue;
