We recently updated lftp from 4.8.4-1 to 4.9.1. We're getting an error when using lftp in a script. It appears to be only when using the "cls" function inside lftp. Here is an example:

# lftp <<EOF
open ftp://**********
user ****** ******
cls
quit
EOF
folder1/ folder2/ folder3/ folder4/
The assert subroutine failed: __EX, file xheap.h, line 127
IOT/Abort trap(coredump)

It appears to only fail when using "cls" in this method. I found a GitHub bug report of the same thing here: http-get testcase fails in AIX · Issue #542 · lavv17/lftp

We have downgraded back to 4.8.4-1 for the time being and it is working correctly.

Thanks!​​

This is still happening in 4.9.2-1.  We just noticed it after a recent update.
Is there a newer version that solves this?

I just verified as well that 4.8.4-1 works as expected. 
Is there an estimated version/date when this will be fixed?

I have also confirmed that no "cls" was used in the script for this error to come up.
