ssh hang on wrong port - is it a bug ?

[Nicolas.Williams at ubsw.com]

% telnet localhost ftp
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 foobar FTP server (Version 5.60) ready.
^]quit

Like Darren Tucker claims, FTPD prints the FTP banner and
waits, so of course, the telnet client "hangs;" it hangs
waiting for you, the user, to do something. I chose to quit
the session, as you can see. You chose to log in.
