We've had one other report of this, and several others of PSFTP hanging
/ munching CPU at other times.

How are you launching PSFTP? Some of our other hangs appear to be
correlated with launching it from a shortcut (for instance, from the
Start Menu), and don't occur when it is launched from cmd.exe. (Also,
what version of Windows are you using?)
