wget -S dies with "wget: realloc: Failed to allocate -2147483648 bytes; memory exhausted." because of 8-bit characters in HTTP headers

Hi!

when using the "-S" option, wget dies apparently because the server
returns 8-bit characters in the WWW-Authenticate header:

$ wget -S http://lib.homelinux.org/_djvu/zzz.txt
--01:46:17--  http://lib.homelinux.org/_djvu/zzz.txt
           => `zzz.txt'
Resolving lib.homelinux.org... 83.149.236.67
Connecting to lib.homelinux.org|83.149.236.67|:80... connected.

  Server: Apache/2.2.3 (Fedora)
wget: realloc: Failed to allocate -2147483648 bytes; memory exhausted.

without the "-S" option, it doesn't die like this.

Best,
v.
