I seem to recall that using wildcards in FTP
was a discussion item in the past here.  I
noticed the latest from the CERT advisory today:

"  A variety of FTP servers incorrectly manage buffers in a way that can
   lead to remote intruders executing arbitrary code on the FTP server.
   The incorrect management of buffers is centered around the return from
   the glob() function, and may be confused with a related
   denial-of-service problem. These problems were discovered by the
   COVERT Labs at PGP Security."

My only wonder is, is an HPe3000 problem also?
