When performing an FTP download, e.g. by opening a connection using an FTP URL,
and the FTP server does not immediately return an error but does after the
download, no exception is thrown. Instead the cryptic message "Error reading FTP
pending reply" is printed to the console.

Highly edited Java source snippet:
InputStream i = (new
URL("ftp://somewhere.com/somefile")).openConnection().getInputStream();
while (i.read() >= 0);
i.close();

As far as I can determine with JDK 1.2.2 javap, there are two problems:
1. sun.net.ftp.FtpClient doesn't throw an execption when a error is pending
2. sun.net.ftp.FtpInputStream.close() catches exceptions.
