That can happen.  The standard kAEWaitReply() can time out.  You can set it
to kAENoReply, or set it to wait for a really long time.

   $reply = AESend($event, kAEWaitReply(), kAENormalPriority(), 3600*9999);

3600*9999 is actually the default in Mac::AppleEvents::Simple.  If I ever
do a rewrite of Mac::Apps::Anarchie, then it will use
Mac::AppleEvents::Simple.  Until then, you can just hack the AESend
statement in the Anarchie.pm file.

There is already facility built in to Mac::Apps::Anarchie for kAENoReply:

  $ftp->waitreply(0);

Anarchie.pm is kinda ugly; it was one of the first modules I wrote (maybe
it was the first?).  But it is functional ...
