lftp 4.9.0-2 is now available in Cygwin. This is a Cygwin-only update that tries to fix a segmentation fault some users are seeing in the previous release, 4.9.0-1[1].
The bug appears to happen only on hosts that aren't IPv6-enabled. The fix was helpfully contributed by Henry S. Thompson[2]. Thank you, Henry. I haven't been able to test the patch, since the problem doesn't occur on any of my hosts. Since version 4.9.0-1 seems to be partly or completely broken for many users, rather than wait I decided to go ahead and release this new, patched version to see if it fixes the problem. Please test this new release, and report on the Cygwin list if the problem is fixed for you. lftp is a sophisticated file transfer program and ftp/http/bittorrent client. It supports multiple network protocols. It offers tab completion, command history, job control, and bookmarks. It can mirror sites and transfer multiple files in parallel. It keeps trying interrupted operations until it can complete them. Andrew E.
