Participating in the RC is voluntary. The target manager apparently
had no time or low expectations. (the fact that the main fix is for
traceback on ELF systems might be a reason for that)

The link to the ftp server has a fault. The colon ":" after ftp is
missing.

Not OP's fault, and afaik can't simply be fixed

The forum software messes up a ftp url (or any other url that is not
http for that matter).

According to the SMF bugtracker this was fixed somewhere in 2010,
somehow not in our version. You can use a FTP tag to solve it
