If it's looking for a `problem' in fork, etc, I can't help.
If you want a simple way to have a long string in your FTPD strings, I have a configuration (no changes to src code needed) HACK which works a treat !
Pick a random boolean flag which can be repeated, and pass that flag to the command lots of times in its original cmmand line ...
% grep ftp /etc/inetd.conf ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/in.ftpd -aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa % ps axw | grep ftpX*d 18534 ? S 0:00 ftpd: pgp.net/c73815-a.roalok1.mi.home.com: ftp/IE40user@: IDLE %
[ I've HACKed wu-ftpd to include the virtual host name ]
