Public bug reported:

1. Start an ftp server in a Japanese language environment:
LANGUAGE="ja_JP:ja:en_GB:en"
LANG="ja_JP.UTF-8"
wu-ftpd -s

2. Choose 'Connect to Server" from the Places menu. Create a connection
to your ftp server using "FTP with LOGIN".

3. Double click on the newly created folder on the desktop. No files
will display.

I went onto the ftp server and got rid of the two language environment
variables and then started the server again. Now when I double click on
the ftp folder, it works fine.

This may also be a bug with wu-ftpd, but if I just use the command-line
ftp to connect with ftpd, it looks ok to me. I watched the protocol
interaction using tcpdump and gnome-vfs is requesting and receiving a
directory listing, so part of the problem is that gnome-vfs isn't
parsing the output from wu-ftpd correctly. Even if there is some bug in
wu-ftpd, it would seem wise to correct the parsing problem in gnome-vfs
to make it more compatible even with a (possibly)[ badly behaving ftp
server.

** Affects: gnome-vfs (Ubuntu)
