wget / wput

I began using wput recently.

While wput completes a transfer, it always ends with a

Segmentation fault: 11

if the wput is forced to fail (with an incorrect password
for instance) it issues
what appears to be a correct response:
  "login-Sequence failed .."
  "Transmission of 1 file failed."

but if the transfer completes as expected, Seg fault every
time!

suggestions would be appreciated.  This is on FreeBSD 7.0
i386, however
I noticed the same error on 6.2 (and quit using wput for
THAT reason).
Now I *would* like to use it, but this is disconcerting.

thanks,
Jim

File a send-pr, this is obviously a bug with the port and
the
port maintainer should correct it.  seg-faults happen when
the
programmer makes a mistake in the code, the port manager
should
have caught this and either corrected the bug or pursued it
with
the developer of wput.  If a porter can't get a program to
build without segfaulting under FBSD and they cannot get
help from
the developer, they should abandon the port.

In the meantime, try going to the site that the wput program
is
hosted at and downloading the source, then compile it
according
to the directions in the wput distribution, and see if it
still
segfaults.
