A snapshot.  http://cygwin.com/snapshots/

What's nmap?  I never used it.  I don't see that we have a nmap package
in the distro.

I'd need *specific* instructions to reproduce the crash.  What commands
with which options do I have to use how?  Can I do this at all or do I
need non-Cygwin commands to reproduce it?  Do I have to have a VMS machine?

Otherwise it would be much more efficient if you'd track down the bug.
You have the inetutils sources, so you can build a debugging version
of ftp with all symbols in it.
