Ditto. I have been totally frustrated by this.

As well as my Macs, I have also tried this on a Solaris box and
(interestingly enough) the same problem exists. Basically, the directory
listing never ends - it just hangs there indefinitely after sending the file
list.
It doesn't happen every time, but it does happen about 97% of the time.
My windows and linux boxes do not exhibit the problem.
A solution would be very nice...
