This took a while but I think I understand this now (limited by my git fu
knowledge)....
The offending line is in download.c at line 241:
g_remove ( fn ); /* couldn't create temporary. delete 0-byte file. */
This was originally fixed by commit 4945e425d481ca7b9a4c6e00a8e11bff79d254a4 by
Jocelyn back in 2010-09-13.
*HOWEVER*, it appears that by the subsequent merging of the remote branch
'jocelyn/etag' on 2010-10-11 this somehow restores the offending line.
[I don't quite understand how/why this line was restored but the second chunk
of the patch is kept - I can't seem to track an exact commit where it actually
changes!**]
** If anyone can find the exact reason / commit why this happened - please
explain as I would like to understand.
Anyway, this means the fix never made it into any official Viking release.
I'll fix the trunk.
