wget core dumps

[KF <dotslash () snosoft com>]

I was compiling something today and when it went to go get support 
libraries I noticed a possible buffer overflow...
My powerpc processor tends to obscure weather or not I can overwrite 
things and I have had too much egnog tonight...
so can someone else check this out.
