ftp put; less search; directory timestamp

[Shing-Fat Fred Ma]

Hello,

I recently upgraded to
cygwin-1.3.12-4 on WinME.

Recently I noticed that
ftp (Gnu inetutils) 1.3.2
hangs when "put"-ing a
file (the entire file seems
to be transferred though).
Don't recall having this
problem before.  I'm connecting
to my university via sympatico
dialup.

Also, when I use "less", I
can't seem to indicate that
I want to search for an entire
word e.g. regexp is

      \<WholeWord\>

But this ends up finding nothing.
I don't seem to recall this before
either.  I even tried less on solaris 8,
and it recognizes whole words.

Another thing I notice is that the
timestamp (used by "ls -t" to sort)
isn't necessarily updated for a
directory if new files are ftp'd
into the directory.  This doesn't
match the behaviour of solaris 8
(not that it should, but isn't the
solaris 8 behaviour pretty sane?)

Thanks for any suggestions, or even
acknowledgements of the problem so
that I know it's not just my installation.

Fred
