  Fix Released

Bug description:
  [Impact]

   * A bug exists in Proftpd version 1.3.5a. which causes FTP sessions
  to fail or timeout with strict clients

   * The package, as published in LTS, does not comply with the FTP
  protocol

   * Ported upstream patch and test changes

  [Test Case]

   * Connect to an affected server with ftptest.net

   * Prior to the patch, it will fail to perform an MLSD command with an
  explicit error and explanation

   * After the patch, this works as expected
