 FTPUSERAGENT

 I don't know why you want to use such a bogus ("Mozilla/5.0") user agent,
 but it is the origin of the fault.
 
 morr@'s change may rise new other faults, because it will work well with
 x11/rxvt-unicode/Makefile r1.41, adding FTPUSERAGENT="NetBSD/ftp".
 If other sites also has same problem (empty user-agent is not welcomed),
 package using such site as MASTER_SITES will also fail to fetch,
 because usually, FTPUSERAGENT environment variable is empty.
 Adding such hack to affected packages is not smart.
 
 My suggestion is "revert to r1.56".
 
 For Tsutsui-san's situation,
 * unset FTPUSERAGENT for the case using pkgsrc
 or
 * put followings to mk.conf (or set equivalent to environment variable)
    PKGSRC_SETENV=${SETENV} -i
