The scanner.pl bails out if a directory is not found on an FTP sever during scanning:

Net::FTP=GLOB(0x77e8a8)<<< 230 Anonymous access granted, restrictions apply
Net::FTP=GLOB(0x77e8a8)>>> TYPE I
Net::FTP=GLOB(0x77e8a8)<<< 200 Type set to I
belnet: connected to ftp.belnet.be, (anonymous,/opt/csw/bin/scanner@mirror-
test.opencsw.org)
Net::FTP=GLOB(0x77e8a8)>>> CWD /mirrorsx/opencsw/
Net::FTP=GLOB(0x77e8a8)<<< 550 /mirrorsx/opencsw/: No such file or directory
$VAR1 = '550 failed: ftp-cwd(/mirrorsx/opencsw/): ';
DIE: (=> => /opt/csw/bin/scanner 317 main::ftp_readdir)
Can't use string ("550 failed: ftp-cwd(/mirrorsx/op") as an ARRAY ref while "strict
refs" in use at /opt/csw/bin/scanner line 804.
Completed in 1 seconds

This is due to the regex match of a scalar string made against a ref to a string, this
should be just a regex match against the scaler. This patch fixes the issue:

  Bug: Net::FTP wrongly reports timeouts (421) as code 550:
