Bad file descriptor with ftp

[Joel Hammer]

I am getting Bad File Descriptor errors with my two new lindows boxes
when I access them with ftp from a third machine. The firewalls are
permissive. I can login and  download files one at a time,  but the ftp
client hangs after the transfer for a long time before giving this
error. A command like "ls" works, but then the ftp client just hangs
for ever.

Of interest, only one of three client machines encounters this problem. I
have looked at tcpdump and don't see any problems. /var/log/messages
shows nothing.The problem client machine has no problems with a non
lindows ftp server.

The only thing I see different is that the problem machine is on a
difference subnet from the two lindows machines. 

Any suggestions welcome.
