Public bug reported:
The Include directive, when given a directory as parameter (such as
/etc/proftpd/conf.d/, as in the stock /etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf), causes
all files in said directory to be read, not just ones ending in .conf.
This causes problems if, for instance, I'm using vim to edit a file in
the included directory while the proftpd service is being (re)started:
vim stores a .swp file in the same directory, and proftpd may fail to
start with "fatal: unknown configuration directive" when it tries to
parse the .swp file.
