Hi Olivier

I'm not sure if you mean the 'STinG patch' button of FTP Server 1.05, but
if you mean this, yes, the TCP_ack_wait() has been completely removed.
No matter how many tests I've done, this function had *never* worked
reliably for me, and it's not needed with the new corrected version.
So the delay is just an evnt_timer() call, which doesn't solve the problem
for older TCP modules, but at least the server is usable for tests.

Note also that this button has no effect under MintNet/GlueSTiK.
I think I'll check the TCP version from now on and if it's older than
1.17 I'll use the delay (and probably TCP_ack_wait() if you think it's
useful) or a simple TCP_close() if it's newer.
