|         NETCLOSE(data_soc);
|     }

|     if (WasInterrupted || HTCheckForInterrupt()) {
|         if (server_type != CMS_SERVER)
|             response(NIL);
|         _HTProgress(TRANSFER_INTERRUPTED);
|         return HT_LOADED;

| Maybe 'the response(NIL) below hangs' is true not only for those
| server types, but also for others.  I added that NETCLOSE a long
| time ago, when testing with those weird servers seemed to show
| that they needed it, but didn't add it for cases I didn't know
| about.  It should probably also be done if WasInterrupted is true
| at that point (please test, I don't want to start loading
| multimegabyte directory listings now..).

Yeah ... adding that condition fixes the "hang", and rendering to the
screen begins automatically, following a ^G/z xfer rupt.  Patch attached.

FWIW, from the info screen (for isc.org) we have:

Server: isrv4.pa.vix.com FTP server (Version wu-2.4.2-academ[BETA-18-VR14](1)
                                     Fri Feb 26 16:13:05 PST 1999)

whatever the devil *that* may be ...
