patch submitted by Ove Soerensen in PR 26810

3.1.8.1, 2004-07-27
  + A fix for some DNS resolution problems on Linux.

3.1.8, 2004-07-07
  + Ncftpget, ncftpput, and ncftpls now try to erase the arguments to the
    -u/-p/-j (user, password, account) options so they do not show in
    a "ps" command (Thanks, Konstantin Gavrilenko).
  + Recognize broken IBM mainframe FTP servers and work around them.
  + Working around a problem with ProFTPD 1.2.9 and later which would
    cause recursive downloads to fail.
  + Fixed a bug where ncftpput in recursive mode could lock up if you
    used a trailing slash on the directory to upload.
  + For the malicious server problem that was addressed in 3.1.5, enhanced
    the fix for better compatibility with mainframe FTP servers.
  + Ncftpget, ncftpput, and ncftpls, and ncftp's open command now accept
    an additional advanced option (-o) which lets you do things like disable
    NcFTP's use of SITE UTIME, FEAT, HELP SITE, etc.
  + Several HP-UX 10 compatibility bugs fixed (Thanks, Laurent FAILLIE).
  + A couple of looping problems with ncftpbatch fixed (Thanks, George Goffe).
  + Bug fixed with the upload socket buffer not being set (Thanks, ybobble).
  + The utility programs now accept "-" for the config file name used
    with "-f" to denote standard input (Thanks, Jeremy Monin).
  + Bug fixed with ncftpput when using both -c and -A (Thanks, Ken Woodmansee).
  + Support for boldface text in Windows version (Thanks, Adam Gates).

3.1.7, 2004-01-07
  + Fixed a memory leak introduced in 3.1.6.
  + Fixed problem where it was assumed that daylight saving's time occurred
    at the same time each year for all timezones.
  + Bug fixed with running a shell escape.
  + Ncftpget now uses passive-with-fall-back-to-port mode like ncftpput and
    ncftpls.
  + Problem fixed with "ls -a" where occasionally a row with \ 
".." and another
    file would be omitted.
  + Ncftpbatch now uses the UTC timezone for spool files.
  + The configure script can now detect when the config.cache file has been
    improperly recycled from a machine with a different OS.
  + The Windows version now uses the USERPROFILE environment variable, if it
    was set, as the location of the user's home directory.
  + Recognize broken DG/UX servers and work around them.
