I agree this line shoudn't trigger syntax error, but not
	set ftp0 maxpkts 1
as described in your previous email.

After revisiting tcl/lib/ns-source.tcl, I found $ftp0 set maxpkts_ isn't
supported for Application/FTP anymore, unlike the previous version of FTP
agent -- Source/FTP.  Instead, Application/FTP uses
	$ftp0 producemore 1
for sending limited amount of packets.
