If you were running the NT Service version of 2.5b4 you were possibly
being caught by the old-binary situation, causing it not to find the
script that output the rest of the FTP login sequence.  You might like
to try 2.5b5 and see if that has fixed the problem; it includes a
rebuilt binary that matches the included scripts.
