        [SNIP]



Description:
    Previous versions of the wget package can crash if they contact a
    malicious FTP server.  No further vulnerability is enabled by this
    minor flaw; system security is not threatened in any way.




Which might well be a good thing eh?  Afterall, if the site is malicious,
better the app die and dump then allow one to prceed to inflict harm upon
ones self?


Thanks,


Ron DuFresne

OK, so you're a Ph.D.  Just don't touch anything.
