Thank you very much for these changes.  I had been notified prior about
the stack space issue (but not all occurrences of it).  I will try to
patch these up and make an updated release sometime this week. Some of
these are already in the subversion trunk of mod_ftpd

Also, in the future please try to provide all patches in unified diff
format. (tortoisesvn.tigris.org is a nice Windows SVN client w/ a
diff/merge tool that can produce these)

apr_palloc is the preferred over malloc as it will use APR's allocation
routines which handle deallocation automatically (less worry about
unfreed memory).
