It appears to be a false report, because when I check FTP is running and my 
external service monitoring (Zenoss) has not indicated that FTP had gone down 
to begin with. Zenoss checks like once a minute, while Active Monitor checks 
only once every 15 minutes.

So somewhat is fishy with the Active Monitor script that checks FTP.  I'll 
give it another work over to make it more relieable.
