    Sounds like exactly the same problem the folks at
ftp.cica.indiana.edu are (or were?) experiencing on their Linux-based
server with wu-ftpd.  The server would just hang for several minutes
on end, even while a second copy of ftpd continued to run happily on a
different port.

    I know this doesn't help directly, but perhaps the CICA people
have found a solution to this long-standing Linux problem (increasing
the listening queue length, or patch xinetd in ftpd's case, or switch
to FreeBSD ;-) ).
