Is this PR-worthy? I am seeing this in both -stable and -current. The lftp
author claims it's our bug, not his.

It seems to me that sscanf on FreeBSD does not correctly handle long long

initializing the variable to 0 before sscanf helps. This indicates a bug
in the libc library. You can report a bug to FreeBSD team.
