I downloaded a file using

    wget -O tmp.out http://host/input

If I now try to resume the download using

    wget -c -O tmp.out http://host/input

I get an error message.

What should have happened:

    "wget" should get the size of "tmp.out", and then
    retrieve the file "input" starting with the first
    missing byte.

What seems to happen:

    "wget" ignores "-O", and searches the local file
    "input" to find out, how many bytes have been transferred.
    The file does not exist, and therefore it again
    retrieves the whole file.
