List:       wget
Subject:    Bug continuing download in combination with -O option

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.
