Thanks.  Interestingly enough I have been swimming around some of the FTP 
code I have around here and found this little gem:

/* Note: a response of 425 is not mentioned as a possible response to the
  * PASV command in RFC959. However, it has been blessed as a legitimate
  * response by Jon Postel in a telephone conversation with Rick Adams on 25
  * Jan 89. */

Ah, the good ol' days. :-)
