Hi Oumar, The patch doesn't just prevent a SIGSEGV. It solves the problem of axel not being able to handle a FTP CWD to a non-existent directory.
Even wget can't get the file because the directory doesn't exist. $ wget http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/releases.ubuntu.com/edgy/ubuntu-6.10-alternate-i386.iso --12:28:27-- http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/releases.ubuntu.com/edgy/ubuntu-6.10-alternate-i386.iso => `ubuntu-6.10-alternate-i386.iso' Resolving www.mirrorservice.org... 212.219.56.135, 212.219.56.138, 212.219.56.139, ...
