Broken Statusline in squid-ftpget/1.NOVM.20

dear squid-users,

i am encountering the following problem:

accessing an existing URL like the following works well
ftp://ftp.dom.de/ and results in a status line like this
(appearing in the client):

<snip>

but if i access an errorneous URL like ftp://ftp.dom.de/xxx
i get a wrong line like this:

this error seems odd. i did not look into the source, yet. i tried
to find any clues in the mailing list archives but i may be blind.

did anyone encounter the same problem?

unluckily i have a script that relies somehow on the date supplied by ftpget.
btw. is it ftpget which generates this message?

some os specific data:
Linux colossus.dom.de 2.1.84 #2 Mon Feb 2 13:58:13 CET 1998 i586 unknown
squid-1.NOVM.20 was built with egcs-2.90.23 980102 (egcs-1.0.1 release)
against linux libc-5.4.43.

any clues?

best regards.
