Hi there,

I've run into a interesting ( new ) problem with 2.1.121.

I run a southpark realvideo mirror. Which is rather high-traffic. Yesterday
evening, I was sshed in remotely when I started noticing some really bad
latency.

So I did a netstat -n.. The ssh connection locked up after about 3000 lines
of netstat..

Anyhow, when I got in to reboot the computer this morning, syslog was filled
with:

Sep 10 18:41:50 angband proftpd[23634]: attempted bind to 129.128.197.9,

"A wizard cannot do everything; a fact most magicians are reticent to admit,
let alone discuss with prospective clients. Still, the fact remains that
there are certain objects, and people, that are, for one reason or another,
completely immune to any direct magical spell. It is for this group of
beings that the magician learns the subtleties of using indirect spells.
It also does no harm, in dealing with these matters, to carry a large club
near your person at all times."
