#1360: setting '[ftpd]enabled = true' caused 'tahoe run' to fail silently

     Type:  defect         |          Status:  new      
 Priority:  major          |       Milestone:  undecided
Component:  code-frontend  |         Version:  1.8.2    
 Keywords:  ftpd error     |   Launchpad Bug:           
---------------------------+------------------------------------------------
 I added the following, taken from [source:docs/frontends/FTP-and-SFTP.rst
 #configuring-ftp-access], to a previously-working {{{tahoe.cfg}}} in order
 to enable the FTP frontend:

 {{{
 [ftpd]
 enabled = true
 port = tcp:8021:interface=127.0.0.1
 accounts.file = private/ftp.accounts
 }}}

 then ran "{{{path_to\bin\tahoe run .}}}"

 {{{tahoe run}}} exited immediately with no output. Commenting out
 {{{enabled = true}}} in the {{{[ftpd]}}} section allowed it to work again.
 The {{{ftp.accounts}}} file is working with SFTP.

 This is on Windows Vista, using Tahoe v1.8.2. Running the test suite gives
 no test failures, and I've no reason to think that any of the dependencies
 are broken.
