Hello

The problem occurs in version 1.8.2. I don't know if this is an old 
issue. But I did not manage to find a changelog for wget anywhere.

Someone on the suse-mailinglist spotted that downloading by typing "wget 
-k -r -P/tmp URL" leads to some strange behaviour. All links start with 
href="/tmp/...." then. So they have absolute paths. This makes it 
impossible to copy the directory anywhere else without making all links 
broken.
I think wget should convert links to relative paths like being called 
without "-P" in the prefix directory. Otherwise the movability of pages 
downloaded with -k gets lost.
At least there should be a hint in the man-page or the weird info-stuff 
that -P in conjunction with -k may not lead to the expected result.
