You didn't reboot but did you restart the ftpd?

Subject: strange ftp behavior
Hi *,
Running AIX 4.3.2 on an RS6000 3CT
I am puzzled by this strange ftp behavior on "machineA":
ftp -i machineA
login: #OK, no problem
password: #OK, no problem
ftp>get fileABC #OK, no problem
ftp>mget fileA* #error message
Connection closed by remote host.
ftp>
My solution:
Copy ftpd from MachineB (also AIX 4.3.2) to /usr/sbin on MachineA
Now repeat above ftp session on MachineA.
Everything including mget works!
Next day (no reboot):
Repeat above ftp session on MachineA.
Same symptoms as yesterday, mget FAILS.
Anybody can figure out what might be going on?
