self answer, i called ftp_start() with a base url, i.e. 
ftp://ftp.somewhere.com/, 
ftp return code is then 200 (no CWD), appending a directory to the 
base url returns a 250, which is what we want, no more hang.
Anyway, shouldn't 200 be an acceptable return code for the first expect in 
ftp_start() ?
