Maybe I'm missing something, but AFAICT Debian's Wget 1.9.1 doesn't need "escape_buffer" in log.c at all.
Wget 1.9.1-12 in stable includes my backport of 1.10's filtering of control characters via the "escnonprint" function. When I sent the backport to the maintainer, I expected that he would remove the old "fix". -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
