Replying to zooko:

Do we need to document this problem with mutable files in FTP? I don't think it is serious enough to deserve an entry in docs/known_issues.txt, but maybe in docs/frontends/FTP-and-SFTP.txt? Oh, I see there is already a note in there: 

Mutable files are not supported by the FTP frontend.

(from docs/frontends/FTP-and-SFTP.txt@4439#L201) Hm, this documentation seems incomplete. What happens if I put a mutable file into a directory with tahoe put or tahoe ln or the wui, and then I list that directory using my FTP client?

Well, according to the bug description it hangs (it's not clear whether the client hangs or the FTP server, probably the former).

The patch has not been applied because of the problem in comment:3. On the other hand, hanging on a directory listing is a more serious problem than failing to download the file correctly in some (broken) clients, so perhaps the patch should be applied anyway. Not for 1.7.0, though.
