OK.  As you may have noticed, savannah.nongnu.org is back up [:-)] but
unfortunately I haven't been able to get them to accept my ssh key yet
[:-(].  I have to make a release of mod_caml first, once the ssh key
works, then I'll look at your patch for Net::FTPServer.  I'm very much
hoping that the ssh key thing should be sorted out today.

I'm pretty sure that the MLSD implementation is partial / broken.  One
of the problems is that it was implemented based on any early draft,
not the final RFC, and the other problem is that no one uses it
anyway.  Actually, that's not true, I think ncftp tries to use it.
