This is the key issue here.
The "file" read by wget (which happens to be a directory in this case)
returns a zero length line and the assert() line warns about this and then
aborts. The core you get is due to this SIGABRT.
This stack:
#3 0x27b64 in __eprintf (string=0x7b037054 "", expression=0x1 "", line=1058,
filename=0x7ae9f720
"z�\002�z��@z�+\200z��@z�\177hz��@z�\177�z��@{\003V\210")
is in the assert() macro/function that proves it.
I would fix that assert() to be a better check and return a proper error
message and return NULL. Something along these lines:
