Yes. NetBSD did that commit just right now.
I guess they obtained it from you, or it's just a BIG coincidence.

Module Name: basesrc
Committed By: itojun
Date: Mon May 29 14:57:29 UTC 2000

Modified Files:
basesrc/usr.bin/ftp: extern.h fetch.c ftp.c

Log Message:
convert IPv4 mapped address (::ffff:10.1.1.1) into real IPv4 address
before touching it. IPv4 mapped address complicates too many things
in FTP protocol handling.
