Will continue to hold off on this for mainline (Schweda's patch does have this fix, so assuming copyright assignment goes smoothly, that one will go in instead of this).

Rabin submitted a patch to the list at http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.web.wget.patches/2331

Steven Schweda commented that the fix was already in his VMS patch.

Moving to lower-priority than VMS patch, so we can check if the problem persists after that.

This happens when --recursive hits any empty FTP directory (regardless of the name). I'll post a fix for this to wget-patches shortly.

Wget apparently doesn't handle weird filenames very well. During a mirror fetch of current ftp://micah.cowan.name, the directory named "!COMPLETE" apparently results in wget attempting to obtain size and RETR an empty filename.

Two problems here: Wget shouldn't be generating empty filenames, and if Wget encounters an empty filename, it should be smart enough not to attempt retrieval.
