Yes, I did the following (this is from memory, I don't want to crash my Mac
at the moment):

from ftplib import FTP
x = FTP()
x.set_debuglevel(2)
x.connect("anyoldhost", 21)	# FTP_PORT = 21

Somewhere in here the TCP receive routines would hang waiting for a long
time (despite some of the server's welcome text getting printed), and
_Fread would get into the bad state of counting down from 0xFFFFFFFF.

Thanks for looking into this.
