I got to this problem here running a version of GNU wget (1.8.2) and following kernel: Linux version 2.4.18 (gcc version 2.96 20000731 (Red Hat Linux 7.3 2.96-110)) #4 Sun Jul 28 09:01:06 CEST 2002 In this configuration I get the error even more times. In 2300 calls I get 319 failures, this is something about 0.07% not too much, but significant. However it is not my skill to analyze nor get to deep in wget and the kernel. It's just a note and a offer of some further tests if you need. Greetings Thomas PS: I'm sorry this message is out of the thread index.
