[Bug 1904601] Re: lftp 4.8.1 crashes upon exit

[pjv]

Sorry, but what would it take to upgrade the version of lftp for bionic
to version 4.8.4 or higher to fix this bug that has been sitting here
confirmed since 2020? Is that a big deal?

Title:
  lftp 4.8.1 crashes upon exit

Status in lftp package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Release: Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS
  Package: 4.8.1-1ubuntu0.2

  lftp 4.8.1 and 4.8.2 have a known bug where it will crash upon exit.
  This bug was fixed on Oct 3, 2017 and is included in lftp 4.8.3.

  This is the error reported on the console:
  RateLimit.cc:30: void RateLimit::AddXfer(int): Assertion `xfer_number>=0' failed.

  Here is the commit that addresses the issue:
  https://github.com/lavv17/lftp/commit/8ac64e9d664270d67fa4b8f75186af0884c030f0

  Currently lftp is not usable in scripts due to the segfault / core
  dump.
