Because in active mode, the ftp server attempts to connect to a port on the
ftp client, in the guest. Due to the limitations of slirp, this is not possible
(in theory one could use redir support to work around this, but this is not
an easy task).

dir hangs because the client is waiting for the server to connect, which it
cant.

It is not because of slirp. That should have worked fine. Perhaps there are
firewall issues...but this is slirp, so to the host, the request looks like
its coming from itself. Strange.
