Wasnt too sure what to check when it came to locales.
echo ${LANG} returned blank so I set LANG=en_AU.iso88591
didnt make any difference to wget or what strace shows when running wget.
but interestingly i ran strace with ifconfig and that shows a few
interesting bits. not quite sure what it means at this stage.

</SNIP>
The bit of particular interest to me is that the last line shows the
ip address of the interfaces lo and eth2 and yet outside of strace
this appears to be the only piece of information ifconfig doesnt
display to regular users.
and this is strace of ifconfig run as root
unlike the strace run as the regular user this strace didnt show any
lines like the first 6 above relating to locale files.

</SNIP>
so i does kinda look like a locale problem i guess.
