There seems to be a bug still in the proftpd.conf file creation on 5209R

If I have a host on say 192.168.1.62  and I  add a vsite with it's own
static IP of 192.168.1.67 I get this at the end of proftpd.condf :


<VirtualHost 192.168.1.62>
        DefaultRoot     / wheel
        DefaultRoot             / admin-users
        DefaultRoot             ~/../../.. site-adm
        DefaultRoot             ~ !site-adm
        AllowOverwrite  on
        DefaultChdir    /web
        DisplayLogin    .ftphelp
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost 192.168.1.67>
        DefaultRoot     / wheel
        DefaultRoot             / admin-users
        DefaultRoot             ~/../../.. site-adm
        DefaultRoot             ~ !site-adm
        AllowOverwrite  on
        DefaultChdir    /web
        DisplayLogin    .ftphelp
</VirtualHost>



The second lot of VirtualHost entries breaks proftpd and it wont start.
You get log message: 

 : warning: "ProFTPD" address/port (192.168.1.62:21) already in use by "ProFTPD server"
 : 192.168.1.62 - ProFTPD terminating (signal 11)

I have to hand edit the proftpd.conf file and remove them for proftpd to run
again. Of course as soon as I add another static IP it breaks again.
