I think I nailed the above bug and the SIGSEGV mentioned here:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-wget/2016-08/msg00052.html
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-wget/2016-08/msg00056.html
I just pushed to https://github.com/mehw/wget/tree/metalink, and further
explanations are in the commit fb3cdf5b0fd9e08426682b8d7c84be1f7e343805.
For the sake of clarity, below there's an extemp of the notes added to the
commit message.
* src/metalink.c (retrieve_from_metalink):
commit a0ff0952d6fbd01a509797eb6ba31923ba6752af
[latest presenting the SIGSEGV problem]
commit e3fb4c3859d2705fb2de80801b0bba2b64bea1a1
[discussed in the mailing list about the SIGSEGV]
If unique_create() cannot create/open the destination file, filename
and output_stream remain NULL. If fopen() is used instead, filename
always remains NULL. Both functions cannot create "path/file" trees.
Setting filename to the right value is sufficient to prevent SIGSEGV
generating from testing a NULL value. This also allows retrieve_url()
to create a "path/file" tree through opt.output_document.
Reading NULL as output_stream, when it shall not be, leads to wrong
results. For instance, a non-NULL output_stream tells when a stream
was interrupted, reading NULL instead means to assume the contrary.
