[bug #54126] Wget keeps crashing in Windows sometimes when the filename is large enough to scroll it

[FailedShack]

Follow-up Comment #3, bug #54126 (project wget):

I was running into this bug myself and spent a bit of time wondering why wget
kept crashing.
So I played around with it until I narrowed down the issue to the progress
bar, just to then find this bug report.

I can reproduce this issue every time the filename has to scroll and the
download takes long enough for the text to go out of bounds at least once,
which happens to be a really common occurrence. Hope this patch is merged soon
as it is pretty annoying.

This batch file should reproduce the crash every time:

@echo off
set file=aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
:test
wget http://www.ovh.net/files/100Mio.dat -O %file%
if %errorlevel% == 0 (
    rem Fluke. Try again.
    goto test
) else (
    echo Wget failed with status: 0x%=exitcode%
)
del %file%
pause >nul
