Are you saying that the problem is sensitive to which side is running  
as client and which as server, even if the flow of all the transfers  
is the same direction in both cases?

The bug reporting system is this mailing list.

One simple thing to try is setting maxthreads to 1.  I'd be interested  
to see whether this helps.  (I'm having trouble imagining what could  
be resulting in many files getting opened at the same time.)
