Hi, on my system (Debian Gnu-Linux Unstable, i686), wget crashes when invoked this way: wget -p /
>>> Starting program: /home/lrde/stud/tisser_n/trash/wget-1.8.1/src/wget -p / Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. 0x08061c5e in retrieve_tree (start_url=0x808dff8 "/") at recur.c:201 201 url_enqueue (queue, xstrdup (start_url_parsed->url), NULL, 0); <<< The bug is in recur.c, line 201 : When url_parse finds an error in the parsed url (here "/"), he returns NULL. so, start_url_parsed is NULL, and start_url_parsed->url crashes.
