Possible Buffer Overflow in CesarFTP

I suspect a buffer overflow vulnerability in CesarFTP (v0.99e tested) that
exists in "server.exe".  When receiving a command that contains a parameter
of about 1200 characters, it drops all of its sessions and server.exe
terminates.  However, the controller restarts the killed process.  I looked
in the event log -- it makes no mention of the lengthy command.  Any ideas?

of as a stream is because it is
so shallow."
