I'm getting infinite recursion with a host.stat call. The
path._is_file_system_entity is called by stat, and then calls stat.
ftputils v5.0.4 on Python 3.7 on Windows. Stack trace below:

Can you please enter tickets [1] both for the parser
error issue and this one? If you don't have a Sourcehut
account, let me know. In this case, I can enter tickets
on your behalf.

Since I didn't hear anything from you for a while, I've
entered the following tickets on your behalf:

https://todo.sr.ht/~sschwarzer/ftputil/152

https://todo.sr.ht/~sschwarzer/ftputil/153

I don't think I'll change ftputil to ignore arbitrary
unparsable lines, but I've explained the situation and
a workaround in the above ticket 152.

Regarding the infinite recursion problem, I don't have
an explanation at the moment. I added a comment in
ticket 153 on debugging the problem on your side. If
possible, please add your results to ticket 153. You can
cut the traceback if not only the calls but also the
printed paths repeat.

Best regards,
Stefan
