I've done a bit of looking around on the Web and it appears that this
message has replaced the traditional 'partial' message mentioned in
Shorewall FTP HOWTO. It means that a message (probably a PASV REPLY) is
not complete because it was split between two packets. 

I've seen this problem connecting to a particular FTP server, but I've
never seen it on all servers from a local network. Makes me think that
the ftp helper on that firewall is *not* working correctly.
