We can't support the various ports and modified package releases of
Wget; please contact the GnuWin32 folks about this problem.

(Of course, if the problem is traced to a problem in our sources, we'll
strive to fix this; but since this has so far only been reported for
this one package, it seems more likely to be specific to this one port.)

On the other hand, you might check to see whether the issue might be
with cfexecute, or with the way it's being invoked. My past experience
with ColdFusion (admittedly some 5 years ago) did not leave me impressed
with the quality of that software, so I would not personally be
surprised if it could be traced to that. You might try a different
Wget-on-windows port (see
http://wget.addictivecode.org/FrequentlyAskedQuestions#download); if the
same problem persists on a non-GnuWin32 version, then you've narrowed it
down to one of ColdFusion (or its use), or our own Wget sources (as
opposed to GnuWin32's).
