That is not a problem. This is a dual PII-400 with 384 MB of RAM and
only 3 users on it (at the time I did the tests there were only two -
myself an one person in vi, with no ftp users at ALL. The ftp daemon is
wu-2.4.2-academ-beta18).

Ok ... thats where I'll go next. I really do NOT suspect the FTP daemon.
What makes me so doubly sure is disabling Squid lets me see the directories
all the time from within my browser. With Squid enabled it is a hit-and-miss
thing as to whether or not I will get the valid listing.
