Process dumping was disabled, use DUMPPROC / PROCDUMP to enable it.

As this is not likely to be all that common, we can put this on a back burner or close as WONTFIX. I was just thinking that there should be a more graceful way to tell the poor idiot user that we don't know where home is!

It's an OS/2 specific bug... in fact, I'm not sure why the code in question is necessary.... will do some more testing when I get a minute...

Actually, Paul, of greater importance are 0000589, 0000590, and 0000622, as wildcards not working can be a real pain. This, however, would be an issue for Warp 4 users with no HOME variable set.

Closing this, as I think it was fixed some time ago. That said, I've been using ncFTP 3.2.6 from Netlabs for some time, and this has not been an issue. We can revisit if you feel the need to update the port to the latest code, Paul.
