One error I found is that HTftp.c uses `getsockname()' which is the
original non-BSD function. It should use `getsockname_s()' instead.
Hence rubbish gets returned in `sockaddr *'. No wonder it never opens a
ftp data-connection; it listen's to a random sockaddr.
 
Using `int' for `sock_type*' as the 1st argument apparently works under
some DPMI host. Under CWSDPMI one should get a page-fault for sockets 
below 4096.
 
Well, so much for not using `gcc -Wall' and prototypes for everything.
 
An OTOH patch for <tcp.h> would simply be:
 
 #ifdef DJGPP
 ..
+#define getsockname getsockname_s
 ..
 #endif
