When using the FTP engine, if the remote host sends back
a message greater than 256 bytes, memory may be trashed and
cause SAS to terminate abnormally.

Typically, the error seen in the log is:

  WARNING: Truncated record.

This may be accompanied with a message similar to the following:

  Segmentation Violation In Task [ DATASTEP ]
  Fault Occurred at [0x900000000b64b44(?)]

  Task Traceback

  xxrinfo+0x38 -- bridge stub
  dsxxini+0x38 -- bridge stub
  _uc_trampoline+0xfffffffffffffffc

One possible solution is to request that the system administrator
shorten the offending message to less than 256 bytes.
