Oh.. hm like that. It used to be such that with more than 5 ftp-jobs it could 
happen that you couldn't get a file-slave any more. That has been fixed but 
it's still the case that you can get at most 5 file slaves. All limits are 
per application though. I could allow a higher number of file slaves. That 
should prevent the file-dialog from starving. Or maybe we can give slaves a 
'long-term-slave' status when they are being used for longer than e.g. a 
minute. Other ideas?

Cheers,
Waldo
