Hi Roberto,

Thanks for the excellent debugging. I now see why it is failing.

   732 for (;;) {
   733 debug(38, 5, "Connecting FD %d to: %s, port %d, len = %d\n", fd,
   734 inet_ntoa(S->sin_addr),
   735 (int) ntohs(S->sin_port),
   736 len);
   737 y = connect(fd, (struct sockaddr *) S, len);
   738 debug(38, 7, "connect returned %d\n", y);
   739 if (y < 0)
   740 debug(38, 7, "connect: %s\n", xstrerror());
   741 if (y >= 0)

The call to debug() on line 737 makes some C library calls which
look for some Locale stuff and ends up changing the value of errno!

connect(4, {sin_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(21), sin_addr=inet_addr("195.76.4
6.40")}, 16) = -1 EINPROGRESS (Operation now in progress)
write(2, "96/10/25 05:56:37| connect retur"..., 39) = 39
open("/usr/share/locale/C/LC_MESSAGES", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or d
irectory)
brk(0x807e000) = 0x807e000

So later when we check errno it seems like connect() returned ENOENT.
I'll be if you remove the deubg() calls in connect_with_timeout2()
it works great.

Meanwhile, I'll fix ftpget to account for this.
