Thanks for the report; this should now be fixed in CVS.

Such a report is almost useless without also specifying `-d'. This is
because -d will make Wget log not only its full conversation with the

It seems that you forgot to tell Wget where your cookies are stored,
e.g. using `--load-cookies ~/.netscape/cookies.txt'.
