NULL ptr dereferences found with Calysto static checker

[Domagoj Babic]

Hi,

I've ran my static checker Calysto ( http://www.calysto.org/ ) on wget v1.10.2,
and Calysto reported a possible NULL ptr dereference at:

+ wget-1.10.2/src/utils.c:287 // localtime can return NULL

I'd appreciate if you could let me know whether you consider this to be
a real bug or a false positive (and why).

Kind regards,

   I'd say that it's sloppy code, but the probability of seeing a
failure in the real world, while not zero, must be vanishingly small.
