[ftputil] "Useless" lines in directory listings

Hello,

during a bugfix, I've come to think about what kind of lines
without directory/file/link data may be included in a directory
listing from the server. ftp_stat.py already ignores lines
beginning with "total". Have you also found something in your
listings which isn't useful for stat results?

To find out more, you can append

        print lines

directly _after_ the lines

        # set up for loop
        lines = self._host_dir(path)

in ftp_stat._Stat._real_listdir and mail the output of the print
statement.

Thank you for your answers.

Stefan
