passive mode code was not tested on latest version and I assume it may be
faulty.

There is a good change at version 0.85.5 (but you should try the very latest
version (or even the CVS), may be your problem was fixed) but it was a fairly
painful modification with lot of code changes.
When a GDL is waiting, nothing appends, it just waits. Several events can make
a GDL goes to Trying status (depending on some flags): the requested user may
enter a hub, a reply from a requested user notifies an empty slot or the
timeout is reached (=> force a new attempt, kind of blind attempt, this is
useful/required with unode).
If you plan to strace, you will have a lot of work because now, there is 2
process (dctc (the hub connected client) and dctc_master (the client handling
GDL)) and each one has its own xfer threads.

See on DCTC main page, there is a link to the forum.
