I think there are two problems here.

1. No newline printed after the prompt. Yes, silly as it might seem,
there is actually a Debian bug report on this matter - see
http://bugs.debian.org/64289, as it breaks efs (emacs).
(also a related? bug report was http://bugs.debian.org/69301).

2. for some reason, your client cannot decrypt/decode the status
message from the server, hence is displaying the raw coded
information.

I have reproduced 2 by pushing Ctrl+C to interrupt a transfer.
Apparently, signal handling needs to be rewritten in ftp and/or ftpd.
(in version 0.2* at least).

Did you push Ctrl+C? I doubt it, but just in case...

Does it still crash if you exit by typing "bye"?
