[Interest] QUdpSocket broken?

[Karl Ruetz]

One of our most popular products uses FTP.  Yes, it's old (in the field since 1998), but still making us money.  We added the portion written in Qt in 2004.
The fragility has never been an issue for us.  We haven't seen the problems. Our product has been stable.

We have a commercial license with Digia (started with Trolltech, continued through the Nokia years, and still going.)  

We had no problems with the addon until 5.1.1.  Hopefully Digia will figure out what the deal is soon so I don't have to revert.

I've tried to duplicate the behavior we need using QNAM and have been unsuccessful.  I've posed the issue in many forums (Qt Centre, etc...) and to Digia.  We always end up back with QFtp.
