Okay, that seems to work, giving me

file-name-handler-alist's value is 
(("^/[^/:]*\\'" . ange-ftp-completion-hook-function)
 ("^/[^/:]*[^/:.]:" . ange-ftp-hook-function)
 ("\\`/:" . file-name-non-special))

I can confirm that this is really ange-ftp's problem (I used
debug-on-quit and interrupted the opening process and made sure
ange-ftp is the only party involved).

I was a bit confused at first since from the docs, it seems that I
should use the following file name syntax
   /ftp:address@hidden:/home/marquardt/public_html/oddmuse/cgi-bin/current
but then, ange-ftp wanted to open a connection to host ftp.
   /v01:/home/marquardt/public_html/oddmuse/cgi-bin/current
worked (my user name is the same on both systems, and I have
.authinfo and .netrc set up).

I guess I should now file a bug report against ange-ftp with
report-emacs-bug?

Thanks for the help,
