I had a Windows based ftp server which shut down the connection
immediately when Hobbit sent the "quit" command - before it was done
sending the initial "200 Ok" greeting, resulting in this problem.

Could you try changing the "ftp" in bb-hosts to "ftp:s" and see if
that makes the problem go away ?
