EFS 1.12 bug: synchronization errors

Logging for posterity... ;-)
Whilst continually visiting a file in a buffer and then killing the buffer,
efs locked up on me when apparently the 'ftp>' prompt in the process buffer
got somehow intermixed with the command it was sending.
See the *ftp* buffer below.
