-r without effect

[Micha Meier]

I was using wget with SuSE 6.2. After upgrading to 7.1, wget refuses
to search recursively, even in the same script that used to work before.
It is the same wget version 1.5.3 as before, /etc/wgetrc is the same and
I'm not using .wgetrc. Can someone tell me what else could have changed?
I've also tried to compile 1.6 sources, but the result is the same: I say

wget -r -nc http://...

and wget says the file is already there and does not look at the recursive
links.
