Details:

when running FTP from gap (as of CVS sources in today's date) the application
crashes when a NSRunAlertPanel should be shown. The easiest way to reproduce
it is to log in anonymously into an FTP site and upload a file in a place you
don't have permissions to uypload into. Other errors could work too, if they
are trapped.
The same code works fine on Macintosh.
The complication is that the download or upload aciton is done in a different
thread to maintain the gui responsive so that the progress panel can be
updated.
Previously, FTP would run the alert panel direclty in the transfer class, now
it sends a message to the controller, but it still crashes.

when the alert panel should ocme up, I get
2006-12-09 11:56:30.107 FTP[11006] The font specified for NSFont, Helvetica,
can't be found.

an error log which I do not get wwhen running alert panels from non-threaded
applications. Maybe it is a hint to the problem.
