RE: FTP, Connections and QTCP User ID

Parts of this aren't making sense. I followed the comments from Rob and then 
your reply. Comments included:

What exit point are you referring to? And what application & operation 
identifiers are coming from the exit point? Those should help us know what you 
_should_ be seeing.

I assume identifiers are AppID=1 and OpID=0. QTCP would normally be the userid 
making the initialization request for a connection.

Is it consistent for the one user? I.e., ENDTCPSVR/STRTCPSVR *FTP doesn't clear 
the condition if that user connects again.
